She shot to fame starring as witch Paige Matthews in supernatural drama Charmed.

But on Monday it appeared Rose McGowan wasn't leading such a charmed life, as she was spotted sporting a brace on her wrist during a stroll in New York City.

The 42-year-old star, who has a track record of injuries, wore a thigh-skimming hooded sweater dress and high tops for the occasion.

Rose made headlines for breaking her foot on the way to the gym back in 2008.

The surprisingly tough Death Proof star had injured herself while running down the stairs to meet her personal fitness trainer.

At the time she revealed to People: 'I thought I’d kept my trainer waiting too long downstairs, so I was running and my foot just hit the edge of the doorway.'

The dark-haired beauty continued to explain: 'But I did not miss my workout. I stuck ice on it, did my upper body, and then went to the hospital.'

The Black Dahlia star added: 'The doctor thought I was crying because I was in pain but I told him it was because I have to go to Cannes and I refuse to wear flats.'

Then in 2011 Rose hurt herself yet again, this time it was a broken toe, apparently due to wearing high heeled shoes for 14 to 15 hours a day on a film shoot.

She said, according to People, 'I believe I now have a hairline fracture in my baby toe.'

Rose's remedy was simple yet painful: 'All I did was bind my toes together with extra Band-Aids and a quarter of a popsicle stick.'

When asked if she would trade in her stilettos for more comfortable footwear the Machete star replied: 'Yeah … that’s not going to happen.'

On an ironic note, in 2007 the pretty actress turned quite a few heads in Planet Terror as a killer with an unconventional but deadly accessory.

In the Grindhouse film Rose donned a prosthetic machine gun limb that effectively mowed down her competition.

But the war scarred actress' current injury has yet to be explained.
