description: Rose McGowan was born in one cult and came of age in another more visible cult: Hollywood.In a strange world where she was continually on display stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind something she had done as a child and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script role public appearance and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell hijacking her image and identity and marketing them for profit.Hollywood expected Rose to be silent and cooperative and to stay the path. Instead she rebelled and asserted her true identity and voice. She reemerged unscripted courageous victorious angry smart fierce unapologetic controversial and real as f*ck.
