Then several unwise script choices (including a small role in the wrestling-themed movie Ready to Rumble, which was a massive bomb at the box-office) served to nearly push McGowan out of the limelight. In 2003, Bell played a supporting role in the comedy Bruce Almighty, which starred Jim Carrey. McGowan ended their two year engagement over "lifestyle differences".

She attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with an interest in becoming a biomedical engineer or doctor but dropped out to become a model. Her next critically acclaimed performance would be in the 1999 black comedy Jawbreakers where she played a high school student who tries to cover up her (allegedly) accidental murder of a friend. She acted in various television advertisements as a child. Soon she was appearing everywhere in independent films like Southie, Going All the Way, Lewis & Clark & George, and Phantoms by Dean Koontz.

Araki cast her as the female lead in his hit film The Doom Generation, where she portrayed a foul-mouthed sexpot in the midst of a violent, crime-prone bisexual love triangle.
