McGowan's career as an actor began in 1995 with The Doom Generation (1995). Originally intended for Jordan Ladd, the character of "Amy Blue" was, coincidentally, awarded to McGowan by an associate of director Gregg Araki. For her performance, she was nominated at the 1995 Independent Spirit Awards for Best Debut Performance. Subsequently cast in Wes Craven's Крик (1996/I), she experienced further success when the project defied expectations to become one of the highest grossing films of the year. The innovative career of McGowan was overshadowed throughout much of the 1990s by her high-profile relationship with musician Brian Warner (aka Marilyn Manson. Strong performances in Going All the Way (1997), Lewis & Clark & George (1997), Southie (1998) and Jawbreaker (1999) were largely unseen by the general public. When the relationship ended between the two in 2001, she remarked: "There is great love, but our lifestyle difference is, unfortunately, even greater".
Rose continued to work solidly, appearing in a string of soft-sounding studio and independent films. Performances from this period included: a political activist in Showtime's The Killing Yard (2001) (TV), a grifter in Strange Hearts (2002) and a factory worker in "Stealing Bess" (aka Vacuums (2003)). She was re-introduced to the mainstream as "Paige Matthews" in Aaron Spelling's "Зачарованные" (1998), a popular television show for which she devoted five consecutive years. When "Charmed" finished its run in 2006, McGowan emerged in top form. Critics praised her efforts in Robert Rodriguez's Планета страха (2007), and Quentin Tarantino's Доказательство смерти (2007).
In several interviews McGowan has expressed a disdain for Hollywood, yet despite this she has maintained a strong work ethic. Her upcoming projects include an adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Tell-Tale Heart (2012)' and a romantic thriller titled Napa (2012).

"I don't believe in rules. I would be happy to be climbing a pyramid when I'm 70. And I know I will be."
"Hollywood is all about making an entrance. I don't want to be a walking advertisement for anyone other than myself."
