McGowan, who catapulted to stardom as a sexy victim in Scream,will join
Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs as the newest bewitchingsister on Charmed,
it was announced today by Jordan Levin, Co-President, Entertainment of
The WB.
"Both Alyssa and Holly Marie have set a high bar," said Mr. Levin. "In searching for the third member of the ensemble, we are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Rose McGowan and believe she will bring a new and different dynamic to Charmed."
Best known for playing vixens, McGowan left an indelible impression on
audiences as a sexy scream queen flattened by a garage door in Wes Craven's
Scream. She began her career starring in the edgy independent feature film
The Doom Generation by controversial director Gregg Araki,
for which she earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination. She has also
starred on the big screen in the dark high school comedy Jawbreaker, Monkeybone
and Ready to Rumble.
McGowan will play a long-lost sister
to Phoebe (Milano) and Piper
(Combs), and will be introduced
when the series begins its fourth season this fall. Charmed is a supernatural
one-hour drama from Spelling Television airing on The WB Thursdays
at 9:00 p.m. ET. The series chronicles the conflicts between vastly different
sisters as they come together against the otherworldly backdrop of an ancient
prophecy of witchcraft.
Aaron Spelling and E. Duke
Vincent (7th Heaven, Beverly Hills, 90210,
Melrose Place) serve as executive
producers along with Brad Kern (Hill Street Blues, Lois & Clark: The
New Adventures of Superman, New York Undercover).
