Then and Now: The Women of "Two and a Half Men"

Then: Melanie Lynskey

Rose, as played by Melanie Lynskey, was certainly one of the main characters on Two and a Half Men. After Rose has a one-night stand with Charlie, she becomes obsessed and begins stalking him. Over the course of eight years, Rose forms a friendship with Alan and Charlie.

Eventually, Rose and Charlie run away to Paris and get engaged. Unfortunately, Charlie dies before they have a chance to get married. That doesn’t seem to bother Rose! Before long, she’s off to her new conquest: Walden Schmidt.

Now: Melanie Lynskey

These days, the 40-year-old actress has been loving the television limelight, and she’s in the middle of filming two series: a mini-series called Sunshine, and another series called Castle Rock that’s based on a novel by Stephen King.
