Washington
(ANI):
Rose
McGowan
has
lost
some
part
of
her
elbow
after
suffering
serious
injury
on
the
sets
of
her
new
film
Red
Sonja,
which
is
being
directed
by
her
fiance
Robert
Rodriguez.
While
last
year,
the
'Scream" star
was
quite
upbeat
about
her
stunts
in
the
she-devil
comic
book
adaptation,
but
now
her
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," Fox
News
quoted
McGowan
as
saying.
“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!"
she
added.
However,
despite
her
Hollywood
success,
the
35-year-old
actress
had
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,"
said
McGowan.
“Otherwise
I
would
have
had
to
go
back
and
live
with
dad
in
Seattle.
The
film
The
Doomed
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…"
she
added.
