Born to an American mother of French descent and an Irish father who were members of the Children of God, and the second oldest of six children, Rose's parents divorced and she moved to Gig Harbor, Washington, when she was just nine years old. Her high school years were spent in Seattle, where her father ended up. McGowan was a misfit in high school and began hanging out in gay bars, where she said she felt accepted. As an adult she acquired a gay following.
It was in the U.S. that McGowan began modeling. Her first role was won at the age of 19 as Nora in Encino Man. Her role in the cult black comedy The Doom Generation brought her to the attention of film critics and she received a nomination for Best Debut performance at the 1996 Independent Spirit Awards.McGowan was later cast as Tatum in the horror-satire film Scream as the stereotypical busty blonde victim. Soon she was appearing in independent films like Southie, Going All the Way, Lewis & Clark & George, and the movie adaptation of Phantoms by Dean Koontz.
Her next critically acclaimed performance would be in the 1999 black comedy Jawbreaker where she played a high school student who tries to cover up her perhaps-accidental murder of a classmate. McGowan was quickly getting a reputation for playing brassy, bitchy and often violent characters, and to add to this reputation she began a very public romance with shock-rocker Brian Warner (Marilyn Manson). Soon McGowan was popping up at celebrity events in very revealing outfits with Manson on her arm, as when she wore a see-through dress, no bra, and a thong to the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. McGowan later ended their two-year engagement over "lifestyle differences".
After some forgettable roles (including a small role in the wrestling-themed movie Ready to Rumble, which was a massive bomb at the box-office) she was cast in 2001 as Paige Matthews in the television series Charmed as a replacement for Shannen Doherty. Currently she can be seen on the show weekly as part of a trio of sisters who happen to be witches.
She portrayed Ann-Margret in Elvis, a Mini-series aired in May 2005 for CBS about the life of Elvis Presley.
She suffers from obsessive compulsive disorder and had agoraphobia.
