Rose McGowan revealed in September that her 2007 Rolling Stone cover with Rosario Dawson nearly drove her out of the entertainment business.

"I'm like sick of being sexualized, I’m sick of this," McGowan said of the infamous cover in a new interview with Flatt magazine.

Yet that didn't stop her from posing for two nude photoshoots in November. Appearing topless for Flatt, and showing full frontal nudity for Flaunt magazine, the "Charmed" alum showed more skin this year than she did in her Rolling Stone cover.

The 41-year-old also said she had no idea that selling her sexuality would be such a big part of her job as an actress.

A lover of film, McGowan then decided move away from acting and venture into filmmaking.

"I’m an artist, but I never felt like I was an artist as an actor. Not because of how I was treated, because that’s not how artists are treated, or should be treated, or people should be treated."
