Rose McGowan: 27 Hours To Be Blonde

Rose McGowan recently went platinum blonde for the first time ever, and to complete her hair makeover, she really needed to commit.

“All told, it took about 27 hours,” McGowan told InStyle.com at The Humane Society of the United States' To The Rescue! New York benefit. “The first day alone was 14 hours,” The dye job was done by celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham, much loved by stars like Natalie Portman, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Drew Barrymore—and was inspired by Michelle Pfeiffer’s iconic locks in Scarface.

“I’ve just been in a little bit of a rebellious mood, what can I say?” McGowan said of her decision. ”It was a big transition.” Indeed!

The fairytale series will feature an origin episode for Cora next year, Season 2 of the series. This is the second time for Rose to return to magic drama series after her five seasons experience as Paige Matthews in Charmed. While, last year, Rose played an evil sorceress in remake movie Conan the Barbarian.

Up to now, still no clear words from the actress about to play in the following series. But, during an interview in September, she revealed that she would soon star on a new TV show on ABC without saying what it was.

What do you think of Rose playing the young Cora?

Once Upon a Time returns on Sunday, January 6 at 8/7c.

Rose McGowan Talks More About Pulmonary Fibrosis on "The Doctors"

Actress Rose McGowan has had a long and successful career on both the small screen and the silver screen, but her biggest and most challenging role now is finding a cure for pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that claimed the life of her father. Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an often-terminal scarring of the lungs that obstructs the flow of oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. With no known cause and no cure, Rose is now an ambassador for the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis (CPF), and is raising worldwide awareness of the deadly disease.

The actress warmly stopped by the studio of CBS TV's The Doctors to give more information and to raise awareness of PF. The episode itself, aired on December 14, 2012, appearing a few pictures of Rose's past life with her dad who passed away because of the disease.

“Pulmonary Fibrosis is a horrible, horrible way to go,” said Rose McGowan. “It makes me quite angry that not a lot of people know about it. I want to help change that.”

Perhaps best known for her roles on TV’s long-running, Charmed, and the 2011 motion picture, Conan the Barbarian, among others, McGowan lost her father, artist Daniel McGowan, in 2009 to PF. PF has no cure and no FDA-approved treatments and causes uncontrollable and irreversible scarring in the lung tissue, causing its victims to suffocate.

McGowan is taking a lead role in the effort build awareness to fight the disease and is working closely with the CPF, a non-profit foundation.

As CPF’s Ambassador and Chair of The Daughters of PF program, McGowan is helping generate wide public awareness about PF, which has thus far been little known to the broad U.S. public. In so doing, she intends to use her celebrity to shine a spotlight on PF, much as other prominent individuals have done for diseases such as AIDS, breast cancer, Parkinson’s, and others.

“We are honored that Rose is stepping in front of this cause and speaking out and helping give patients and families a voice in fighting this horrible disease,” said Mishka Michon, CEO of the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. “Because she has been directly affected by PF through her father’s illness and death, she has a unique perspective and personally understands the plight of patients and their families. Her efforts will contribute to forever changing the landscape for this little known killer and will also help find successful treatments and eventually a cure.”

Rose McGowan Reveals Her Full Blonde Look

Can't be denied, Rose McGowan is officially new blonde babe as she debuted her hair while visiting a hair salon on December 4! Certainly, she opens up the reason why she locks that light color on her hair.

Actually, the actress dyes her brunette hair because of her inspiration. “I wanted to look like Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface,” said McGowan to the photographs while leaving the Salon Benjamin in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

The Charmed actress quickly tweeted a photo on her twitter after getting compliments from photographers. “New hair. Wanted to be Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface,” McGowan simply tweeted it with a photo revealing her new blonde hair.

The star of next movie releases, The Tell-Tale Heart and The Last Duane, wore a simple black sweater and tank top accompanied with black boots and patterned pants. Rose kept her eyes with a pair of aviator sunglasses as she leaves the salon on December 5.

While, in afternoon, Rose didn't want the public to miss her Christmas spirit. She got home and then went out and about in Los Angeles, CA in a red patterned sweater. She joyfully showed her spirit to welcome the holiday and Christmas.

So, any change on your opinion to Rose's new hairdo?

Rose McGowan Is Precisely a Blonde, Again!

Rose McGowan

Rose McGowan has some serious blonde ambition.

The Charmed actress, 39, debuted a new, lighter 'do over the weekend as she stepped out in Los Angeles, where she was spotted visiting a hair salon on Saturday. Wearing black leggings, a super-short black dress, a grey cardigan and knee-high tan boots, the formerly brunette star tied her recently dyed platinum blonde tresses into a messy bun mostly hidden under a beige and orange hat.

This isn't the first time McGowan has embraced her lighter side. In fact, the actress is something of a chameleon when it comes to her hair color. As one of the bewitching stars of the WB series Charmed, she sported black, brown, red and strawberry-blonde locks during the show's run. She also famously went blonde for the 1996 horror flick Scream when producers decided they didn't want two female characters with dark hair. Yet, in 2007, McGowan showed it again in big screen released-movie, Grindhouse, in which she portrayed a blonde character in Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse feature, Death Proof.

“I hated that color. [But] it was perfect for the role,” McGowan told Entertainment Weekly last year of the lighter hue she had in the movie. “It was like every plumber wanted to date me with that hair color,” she joked. “I immediately went down in the social strata of dating. From a sociological perspective, it was actually fascinating. Any guy that I liked wouldn't give me the time of day. Anybody who had a jacked-up pickup truck was all over me. It was hilarious.”

Besides being a blonde girl, Rose ever tried a red hair color during her appearances in late 2007 and early 2008.

Well, fortunately, the actress has beautiful skin tone that matches any hair color. Certainly, I'm curious to hear what you'd say about Rose's latest hairdo. Don't be hesitate to comment; do you like the blond Rose McGowan? Or, do you miss and prefer her brunette hair?
