Early life
McGowan is the second-eldest of six children (plus two half-siblings), born in Florence, Italy to parents Terri, an American writer of French descent, and Daniel McGowan, an Irish-born artist. Daniel McGowan ran an Italian chapter of the Children of God to which both he and his wife held membership until 1978. McGowan spent her early childhood amid the group's communes, often traveling Europe with her parents. Through her father's art contacts in Italy, McGowan became a child model and appeared in Vogue Bambini and various other Italian magazines. Her parents returned to the States in 1979 and divorced when McGowan was 10. She subsequently relocated to Oregon and Gig Harbor, Washington where she also met childhood friend actor Rey-Phillip Santos. McGowan did not speak English until she moved to the U.S.
McGowan's formative years were spent with her father in Seattle attending Roosevelt High School and Nova Alternative High School. At the age of 16, McGowan officially emancipated herself from her parents. She pursued a possible career in the film industry during her late teens. She also enrolled in a beauty school as a back-up.

Career

GrindHouse, 2007

McGowan made her first appearance in a Hollywood film with a bit role in the 1992 Pauly Shore comedy Encino Man. Her role in the 1995 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. She was subsequently cast as Tatum Riley, the best friend of Neve Campbell's character Sidney, in the 1996 hit horror film Scream.
McGowan spent the majority of the 1990s appearing in low-budget and independent films, including roles in Southie, Going All the Way and Lewis & Clark & George. She appeared in the critically-acclaimed short Seed, directed by San Francisco-born filmmaker Karin Thayer, in 1997, and played opposite Peter O'Toole in the 1998 movie adaptation of Phantoms, based on a novel by Dean Koontz. Notably, she also starred in the 1999 black comedy, Jawbreaker, where she played a high school student who tries to cover up a classmate's murder. That role earned McGowan a nomination for Best Villain at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.
In 2001, McGowan was cast as Paige Matthews in the popular WB television series Charmed, as a replacement lead actress after Shannen Doherty's dismissal from the show. McGowan was offered to be a producer after the seventh season, but turned it down. The series ended its run in May 2006. [6]
In May 2005, she portrayed actress/singer Ann-Margret in Elvis, a Golden Globe winning CBS mini-series about the life of Elvis Presley. That same year, McGowan lent her voice to the video game Darkwatch as a femme fatale named Tala. The game was published by Capcom for PlayStation 2 and Xbox.
In 2006, McGowan had a brief role in Brian De Palma's Academy Award-nominated film The Black Dahlia. In 2007, she can be seen starring in the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez double-feature Grindhouse, released on April 6, 2007. Cast in utterly divergent roles, McGowan appears in both portions of the film, as dark, foulmouthed Cherry in Planet Terror, and as fair, girlish Pam in Death Proof. According to Variety magazine McGowan has signed on to play the tragic B-movie staple Susan Cabot in Black Oasis. Director Stephan Elliott (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert) has penned and will direct the film based on a Premiere magazine article by John H. Richardson. Shooting will begin fall 2007.[7]

Personal life
McGowan used to live in Seattle but currently resides in Los Angeles. The actress 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.[9] 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. There is speculation that McGowan is currently dating director Robert Rodriguez.[10][11]
She has admitted sleepwalking as a child. "The weirdest spot I ever woke up was a snowbank in Montreal. Now I just speak Italian in my sleep."[12]
McGowan is known as an activist for Boston Terriers. She herself has two, Bug and Fester, and has personally donated to various Boston rescues. McGowan reportedly 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." [13]
McGowan and a friend have recently started selling their own line of Pinken Mint purse caddies, which are hooks used to hang handbags from tables and chairs in restaurants as an alternative to resting them on possibly unclean floors. Celebrities such as Keira Knightly, Carmen Electra and Virginia Madsen have been known to use the caddies.
According to an article in the New York Post McGowan experienced serious injuries in a car accident early in 2007. Riding as a passenger her car was struck by another vehicle and the force of the impact drove her eyeglasses into her face. McGowan is quoted as saying, "I didn't realize I was hurt until I put my hand to my face and felt the flap of skin. My glasses had sliced me under my eye". After obtaining the services of a plastic surgeon McGowan is reported to be suffering no long-lasting consequences from the incident.[14]

Music
While dating Marilyn Manson, she appeared in a music video for the song "Coma White", and also performed backing vocals on the song "Posthuman". Both of these songs are available on the album Mechanical Animals. Manson later wrote a track about their failed relationship "(s)AINT" found on the Golden Age of Grotesque. McGowan appeared on a BT track called "Superfabulous" from his album Emotional Technology, which was also featured on the final Charmed soundtrack, The Final Chapter. The song has been featured in several films, including Win a Date with Tad Hamilton and Raising Helen. She wrote and recorded a song titled "Protection" which was featured in her 2001 film Strange Hearts. McGowan has also appeared in the Imperial Teen music video for "Yoo Hoo", which was featured on the Jawbreaker soundtrack.
McGowan has expressed interest in recording an album of her own. During an interview with Living TV she said, "I was actually thinking of going back and doing more soulful tunes and older tunes... and I would love to, when I have a little bit more time." In the Charmed episode "Sense and Sense Ability," McGowan performed, in character, a cover of the Peggy Lee classic "Fever". In 2007, it was announced that McGowan would be performing three songs from the Planet Terror portion of Grindhouse. These songs will be released on Terror's soundtrack by the Varese Sarabande label.[15] The songs are entitled "You Belong to Me", "Useless Talent #32" and "Two Against the World." A clip of the Dean Martin classic "You Belong to Me" can be found on YouTube.
