Rose appeared on The Doctors earlier today to spread word about pulmonary fibrosis. Be sure to watch the video right below!
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 Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis announced today that Rose McGowan will be a guest on Friday, December 14th on CBS TV’s The Doctors. She will share her tragic personal story of how she watched her father suffer and die from the incurable lung disease, Pulmonary Fibrosis (PF) and help raise awareness of the disease that kills as many Americans as breast cancer each year.
“Pulmonary Fibrosis is a horrible, horrible way to go,” said Rose. “It makes me quite angry that not a lot of people know about it. I want to help change that.”
No need to find a secret spell on how to kiss Rose McGowan: The former Charmed star will tell you what she likes – and what she doesn’t.
“Don’t be sloppy!” McGowan, 39, tells PEOPLE. “That’s the worst. You could find the hottest guy on the planet and if he’s a bad kisser, it just doesn’t work.”
The actress hosted Cosmopolitan and Maybeline’s Kisses for the Troops event on Monday in New York City and spilled the beans on what she considers to be a sexy smooch.
“I like the man to be medium aggressive, not somebody who’s going to shove his tongue down your throat,” she says. “That’s not sexy.”
Rose McGowan, best known for her wicked roles in Jawbreaker, Scream, Charmed, Grindhouse, and, most recently, Conan the Barbarian, has a lot of gay pride. The actress claims that she makes even her gay friends seem not as gay when she’s around and campaigned against Proposition 8, which sought to ban same sex marriage in the state of California.
Up next, the 39 year old actress will star in the spooky The Tell Tale Heart, based on Edgar Allan Poe’s story. McGowan was tight-lipped about details of her return to television this fall for a new series on ABC.
Fresh off a plane, McGowan granted Watermark an exclusive interview before her appearance at Spooky Empire – The Ultimate Horror Weekend in Orlando.
Tell me about what you’ll be doing at Spooky Empire in Orlando this weekend.
I’ll be there promoting Scream, Charmed, and Grindhouse.
Is this your first time doing one of these?
Yes. It’s fun to be able to meet people one on one. Generally, you’re kept back from people, so this will be a completely different experience to see the people that are your fans. It’s special.
I have to warn you though; you’re going to encounter quite a few gay nerds.
That’s ok. They’re my favorite! If you have to be a nerd, you might as well be gay. It’ll just make me happier.
Rose McGowan stopped by on Studio11LA this morning to discuss pulmonary fibrosis and her role as the Ambassador to build awareness to fight the disease with the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis. Be sure to watch the video below as it is a very important cause, one that she is incredibly passionate about! Screencaptures are also now available in our gallery.
