Born in Florence, Italy, Rose McGowan moved to the United States as a teenager to pursue a career in acting. A role in ENCINO MAN (1992) paved the way for McGowan’s first starring role in THE DOOM GENERATION, a nihilistic teen movie from New Queer Cinema director Greg Araki, for which she was nominated at the 1996 Independent Spirit Awards for a Best Debut Performance award. McGowan’s raven hair and striking, pale hued good looks have led to comparisons with European horror queen Barbara Steele, and her roles have taken a similarly dark turn. Appearing in Wes Craven’s SCREAM (1996) and nominated for a Best Villain award for her performance in 1999’s macabre teen comedy JAWBREAKER, McGowan is perhaps best known for her five-year stint on supernatural sitcom CHARMED, in which she played the long-lost Halliwell sister Paige. Along with Michael Parks, Josh Brolin, Marley Shelton and Quentin Tarantino, McGowan appears in Robert Rodriguez’s horror film PLANET TERROR, as a brunette go-go dancer named Cherry…
When Piper’s (Holly Marie Combs) and Leo’s (Brian Krause) baby is nearly kidnapped by demons, Paige (Rose McGowan) goes undercover to track down the kidnappers at a demonic black market, but is captured before she can vanquish them. The demons use Paige as a decoy to distract Piper and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) away from the Manor to launch an attack on Leo and the baby. Meanwhile, Phoebe is smitten with her new boss, Jason Dean (guest star, Eric Dane “Gideon’s Crossing”) but is under fire when he questions her integrity. Also, Piper comes up with a name for the baby, “Wyatt Matthew Halliwell” Matthew for Paige, in honor for being his super protective Aunt and Wyatt for Leo, in honor for being his super protective Daddy.

Series regular Rose McGowan plays a dual role in this episode. Trying out her conjuring skills, Paige (McGowan) brings to life a medieval prince (Charlie Weber) -- who immediately declares his love for her. It turns out that the prince is in the thrall of an evil enchantress...whom Paige had been in a previous life. Naturally, Rose McGowan ... appears as the enchantress, and her performance should lay to rest any doubts that she was worthy of replacing former Charmed star Shannen Doherty. ~ All Movie Guide
