10 QUESTIONS with VIC
Featuring ROSE MCGOWAN
Modesty aside, how would you describe yourself?
A good person who just wants the best for
everyone.
Often, it isn’t until a long time has passed
when we fully appreciate and acknowledge a
star’s legacy. But that is not the case with Rose
McGowan, whose natural talents have earned
her immense success and critical acclaim,
striking beauty has forever elevated Hollywood
iconography, exceptional intellect has made
her a survivor and a champion, and finally, her
charisma and articulation have made her the
Joan of Arc of the #MeToo and Time’s Up. It
is difficult to measure an artist’s contribution
to society, countless people she influences and
inspires. But it’s impossible to ascertain Rose’s
impact as the defacto heroin of a historical
and long overdue global movement. She has
conquered acting, singing, writing, producing,
directing, public speaking and they have led
her to this new chapter in her life where she
sheds old pedals to reveal fresh glorious beauty.
You have emerged as a heroine, a pillar of
strength and an inspiration for millions after
a

The past few years have been harder than I
could imagine. Surviving the last year most

I got in real life. I’ve met person after person
who says keep going, keep fighting.
It has been both humbling and inspiring. It was
a hard, hard year, but there were bright spots
of joy here and there. I try to focus on those.
The answer is I’m healing. I have great friends
and a great relationship that is helping with the
healing.
