About
"Rose McGowan escaped the Children of God as a child, then came of age in another, more visible cult: Hollywood. In a strange world where she was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. She was packaged as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them for profit. Hollywood expected Rose to be cooperative and to stay the path. Instead, she rebelled and asserted her true identity and voice. She reemerged unscripted, courageous, victorious, angry, smart, fierce, unapologetic and controversial. This is her raw, honest, and poignant memoir - a no-holds-barred account of the rise of a millennial icon, fearless activist, and unstoppable force for change who is determined to expose the truth about the entertainment industry, dismantle the concept of fame, shine a light on a multibillion-dollar business built on systemic misogyny, and empower people everywhere to wake up and be brave. Rose McGowan held lead roles in films such as The Doom Generation, Scream, Jawbreaker, and Planet Terror. She is best known to television audiences for her role as Paige Matthews in The supernatural drama series Charmed (2001<U+2013>2006).
