Rose McGowan Loses Part of Her Elbow Doing Stunts For New Film
Tuesday, September 08, 2009
At this time last year, Rose McGowan told us how excited she was to
be kicking butt and working under the direction of her fianc� Robert
Rodriguez in the she-devil comic book adaptation "Red Sonja", but it turns
out a serious injury has brought the production to a standstill.
"I had wrist and elbow surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I
had really bad nerve damage from doing stunts - I do a lot of my own
stunts," McGowan
recently told Tarts. "I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a
fork and drive so we're working our way up. It'll probably be another six
months of rehab, but It's the price you pay for being really limber and
being able to do back flips!"
And despite the success the 35-year-old has garnered throughout her
career with roles in "Grindhouse," "The Black Dahlia" and "Scream," she
initially thought
being an actress was a pretty pathetic profession.
"I wasn't trying to be an actor, I was standing outside of a gym
waiting for my friend to come out and this woman he knew kept saying, 'She
should be in this
movie blah blah blah' and I was like, 'Gross, I don't want to be an actor!
Ew!' and then I found out they would pay me enough money for a down payment
on an
apartment," McGowan said. "Otherwise I would have had to go back and live
with dad in Seattle. The film, 'The Doom Generation,' became this huge cult
movie and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award and I've been
following the Yellow Brick Road ever since."

The Doom Generation (1995)
Jordan White and Amy Blue (Rose), two troubled teens, pick up an
adolescent drifter, Xavier Red. Together, the threesome embark on a sex and
violence-filled journey through an America of psychos and quickiemarts.
Rated R for strong vicious violence, graphic sexuality, pervasive
strong language and some drug use.
