Rose McGowan

Women, Fun, Strong

Time, Crazy, Live

I went to regular schools and I was home schooled a lot but I don't have any history in schools. Like, I literally don't exist. I didn't even get a birth certificate until the mid-80s. I always feel like I could be, like, 10 years younger, or maybe I'm 70!
Rose McGowan

Home, History, Until
