No wonder that the show“Supernatural” has become so popular: the creator of the project had been carrying this idea for ten years. That is, he had time to think about the heroes of the film, among whom is the brilliant Rowena.

By name it is easy to guess what thisseries: two brothers grew up in a family where his father was hunting for supernatural creatures. When he disappeared without a trace, the brothers Dean and Sam came together and followed in his footsteps.
The brothers Dean and Sam confront many supernatural beings. Among them is the witch Rowena.
She was born and raised in Scotland on her parents' farm. Mother Ruth was a teacher and her father was a sports coach.
At four years old, the girl, along with her cousin, was given inballet school. Young Connell was fascinated by this occupation: at the age of 13 she already went on the professional stage, participating in various productions (for example, in The Nutcracker).
In her free time, Ruth watched movies, especiallyshe liked actress Vivien Leigh. Mentally, Connell always imagined herself an actress. But out loud she could not even admit to herself that, because in practice, Ruth never participated in either children's or school theater plays.
The girl continued to dance in differentchoreographic troupes and attended the Edinburgh Theater. At 24, she still decided to go to acting school, which she graduated only in 28 years.
Рут Коннелл всегда испытывала интерес к mystical stories. Therefore, when a friend sent her by mail information about the casting, as well as a description of a character named Rowena, “Supernatural” immediately interested the actress.
Ruth Connell was lucky:Her character on the script was Scottish, so the actress did not have to work on the accent. Rowena is the embodiment of evil. Her vanity has no limits. She is not just angry, but also sly, so her tricks are often intricate.
Для борьбы с охотниками Дином и Сэмом Ровена uses his son - the king of hell. However, when her undertaking fails, she tries to conclude a contract with the hunter brothers according to which they must destroy Crowley. In a word, it’s not so easy to understand what is on Rowen’s mind.
Witch Rowena - supernatural powerful creature. Stronger all over the world there is no witch.
With the help of the spell Impetus bestiarum, Rowena turns people into animals. She also bends the reality in the minds of people, has the gift of telekinesis, healing and eternal life.
The cast of "Supernatural" -mostly men. Therefore, when the main character of the woman appeared in the film, journalists threw Ruth Connell questions about how well her partners on the set treated her. Connell hurried to reassure all: she assured that the actors of the series "Supernatural" create a special situation on the site. The secret of this warm atmosphere is that the performers of roles are also friends in real life.
In the process of filming, the actress realized that this is not just the role of her dreams - this is a project of her dreams! The “Supernatural” family is really friendly, and Ruth is glad that she has something to do with her.
