American actor Rose McGowan was born in Florence, Italy. She spent her early childhood living in communes (her parents were members of the Children of God). McGowan moved to the northwest part of the US when she was ten (she didn't speak English at the time). At fifteen, she emancipated herself from her parents and set out to become a star. She started with a bit role in 1992's "Encino Man" and followed that up with a role in "The Doom Generation" (and a subsequent Spirit award nomination). It was her portrayal of 'Tatum' in 1996's blockbuster hit, "Scream", that got her the recognition she was looking for. She has since starred in the television show "Charmed" for five seasons, played another famous red-head, Ann-Margret, in the mini-series "Elvis", and starred in Robert Rodriguez' "Planet Terror". Up next is a role in "Conan the Barbarian".

Not many people have seen this film, but it's got great dancing and a terrific soundtrack. Also, before he took home an Oscar, Christian Bale did his best to show off his singing and dancing abilities (someone must have told him to stick to dramas).

Performance of the Day
Actor: ANN-MARGRET
Film: "Bye Bye Birdie"
Character: Kim McAfee
Year: 1963
Character: Kim McAfee
Year: 1963
Before she was known for her sex-pot image, Ann-Margret was young, naive Kim McAfee from Sweet Apple High School in Sweet Apple, Ohio. When megastar Conrad Birdie (an Elvis wannabe) comes to town, Kim is chosen to welcome him. Ann-Margret was great in a role that required she sing and dance up a storm. If you're looking for a fun movie with a beautiful leading actress, check it out.

After moving to America at the age of six, Swedish-born Ann-Margret was Hollywood's 'It' girl in the 1960s, with her sultry lips and strawberry-blonde waves. She possessed the looks of a sex symbol, but unlike many others, Ann-Margret had loads of real talent (singing, dancing, and acting). The Emmy and Golden Globe winner became familiar to audiences in 1963's "Bye Bye Birdie", playing innocent Kim Macafee. She went on to star in such films as "Viva Las Vegas" (with then-boyfriend Elvis Presley), "Stagecoach", "Criminal Affair", "Grumpy Old Men", and "The Break-Up". She even garnered two Oscar nominations for 1971's "Carnal Knowledge" and 1976's "Tommy".
