The inimitable actor in The Doom Generation and Jawbreaker plonks down in the director\u2019s chair for her first short, Dawn<\/p>\n
Rose McGowan is on the offensive. \u201cI\u2019m not really someone who does well being muzzled,\u201d she barks, launching into a full-on tirade after stepping into a make-up chair in London\u2019s East End. \u201cA big producer once told me that I always had to play the bad girl because I have dark hair and light skin. I was like, (sarcastically) \u2018Oh, that makes sense completely!\u2019 It\u2019s called Hollywood. If the only thing that the public or anybody has ever heard from you is what a man has written for you, you\u2019re only seen in that slim, narrow window of what you\u2019re allowed to be seen as. It just doesn\u2019t suit me.\u201d
\n
\nNow the larger-than-life actress \u2013 whose career has seen her pinball between much-loved cult films like The Doom Generation, Jawbreaker, Planet Terror and Wes Craven\u2019s Scream \u2013 is poking the dream factory\u2019s male gaze right in the eye with her directorial debut, the Sundance-premiered short Dawn. A Kennedy-era struggle of peer pressure and teenage discovery, it climaxes with an ending that would surprise M Night Shyamalan. \u201cI know what I did and it stands on its own,\u201d McGowan smiles, defiantly. \u201cI threw down.\u201d<\/p>\n
F IS FOR FUNERAL
\n\u201cMy first job was at a funeral parlour. I got fired from every other normal job I ever had after that. I helped move bodies into the freezer and prepared them for viewing for the family. It was a little eerie \u2013 a couple of times it looked like, \u2018You\u2019re just asleep. You\u2019re about to sit upright.\u2019<\/p>\n
BLONDE AMBITION
\nIf there\u2019s someone in the cast who has dark hair they won\u2019t hire another brunette. I knew I wasn\u2019t going to get cast in Scream because they had already cast Neve Campbell, so the producer sent me to her colourist, who made me the trashiest blonde ever. It was mortifying. All the plumbers in the world liked me.<\/p>\n
I WANNA BE SEDATED
\nI\u2019m an airplane Ambien (a sleeping pill). When I\u2019m in an airplane, I\u2019m just, \u2018Get me the fuck out of here.\u2019 I watched some Ren\u00e9e Zellweger movie once and cried so hysterically I had to go into the bathroom to complete my crying.<\/p>\n
OLD HOLLYWOOD STOCKPILE
\nI have seven storage facilities full of old Hollywood memorabilia. The only thing I have in my house now are the RKO letters from the Howard Hughes studio that did Citizen Kane. I have the original massive letters that were on the side of the building, like, big.<\/p>\n
MY SO-CALLED SUNDANCE
\nI remember being at Sundance as an actress with Jared Leto, and he said, \u2018It\u2019s the final night of my television career!\u2019, because the finale of My So-Called Life had just aired. Being there as a director is far more substantial. To be there advertising my own vision is massively different.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
