Rose McGowan Prepares for 'Black Oasis'

Rose McGowan gets her hair lightened a few shades at the Neil George Salon in Beverly Hills on Saturday.

The fair-skinned beauty just has one film coming out next year called Black Oasis, which starts filming this fall.

Rose, 33, has said this about Black Oasis: “It’s the story of Susan Cabot and it’s very strange that she is this B-movie star in these Roger Corman films like Wasp Woman and she had an insane life. Kind of really tragic in many ways. She was really short, probably about four foot ten, I’m definitely taller than that. She would go around in eight inch platforms. She was obsessed and thought that her career wasn’t reaching a certain level because of her height. She actually went out with King Hussein, and they were going to get married until he found out her real name was Harriet Shapiro and that she was born Jewish. So he could marry her. And then she had a kid and she became really obsessed with him being strong and tall and he was going to be all the things she could never be but he was born of dwarfism. And she put him through all these experimental treatments that would make him grow tall… Also she starts going crazier, and her life, as she gets crazier and crazier she starts thinking that she’s in all the movies she was in. All these insane movies are happening. So I get to go back to all these sets and be in all these crazy movies.”
