Stunts Led Rose McGowan to Extensive Surgery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies
While she may have lost a leg on screen, Rose McGowan has now lost the use of her arm after too many fight scenes off screen.
The Red Sonja actress, whose action-movie credits also include Scream and Grindhouse, has revealed that starring in extensive stunt sequences caused elbow and wrist damage which could only be treated with extensive surgery.
“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. 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!”
The 36-year-old star’s injury has brought a halt to production of comic book adaptation Red Sonja, in which she plays the title character who is described as a “she-devil with a sword,” but she is hopeful to return to set soon.

Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez Split
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Rumors
UPDATE: Rose’s rep denies that there has been an end to either their relationship or their joint film projects.
Less than a year after becoming engaged, Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez have supposedly called it quits. Just days ago, it was reported the Charmed actress would take on the remake of Red Sonja, a film to be produced by Rodriguez.
Rose first met a then-married Robert when the two worked on the film Grindhouse. Although the couple denied the accusations, it was rumored that McGowan caused the end of her director’s 16-year marriage.
During their relationship, the Planet Terror star has had her name linked to several Rodriguez projects, the most notable one being Barbarella. Unfortunately, it’s controversy behind the Jane Fonda update that may have brought their bliss to a grinding halt.
