Rose Jane McGowan (born September 5) is an American actress, known for her role as Paige Matthews in Charmed (see image on right). She has also appeared in Hollywood films including Scream and Jawbreaker. It is not clear exactly what year she was born in. Various sources have listed it as either 1973, 1974, or 1975.

McGowan gained a reputation for playing brassy, violent characters, especially in the film Devil In The Flesh, where she portrayed a serial murderer and stalker while still in high school. In one especially violent scene, she sent her grandmother to a bloody death with her own cane. She was in a very public five-year relationship with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson, and often appeared with him at celebrity events in extremely provocative clothing, such as the chain-mail transparent dress and thong she wore to the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards. McGowan later ended their two-year engagement over "lifestyle differences." She has since gone on to have relationships with fellow actor Kip Pardue, TV personality Ahmet Zappa and Men's Health magazine editor David Zinczenko.

McGowan used to live in Seattle but currently lives in Los Angeles. At one point, she suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder[citation needed]. As a victim of sexual assault, McGowan has led discussions on the subject among campus groups.

McGowan is an avid lover and activist for Boston Terriers. She has two herself, Bug and Fester, and has personally donated to various Boston rescues. She encouraged friends to donate to Boston Terrier Rescue Net, and according to BTRN: "Having fallen in love with Bug and Fester, her friends donated generously. It amounted to a considerable contribution, which will go a long way in helping BTRN and the needy volunteers who selflessly give to deserving Bostons."
