Scream 3 Easter Egg - Sidney's Mother

This is not true. The pictures are not of Rose McGowan. They are most likely photos of the actress Priscilla Pointer at a young age.

I thought she looked familiar. But who is Rose McGowen?

Rose McGowan played Sydney's best bud in Scream 1. You know, the one who gets killed by the garage door! Oh, and she throws beer bottles at the killer.

That IS Rose McGowen. For those of you that don't know, Rose was in the first movie as Sydney's best friend. Everyone from the first movie is referred to in all the scream movies. For you that don't believe me, watch them all again. And a bit of little known info, Rose is also dating the freak rocker, Marilyn Manson. How's that for scary?

It's not Rose McGowan; it's Linda McCree, the chick who was in the picture of Sid's mom in the scream 1..go check the Internet Movie Database, at imdb.com.

Just to say regardless of who the photo is of, Rose McGowan's characters name in Scream 1 was Tatum. Just so you know!!!

After reading this "egg" I watched the credits. The woman in the picture is not Rose McGowan or Priscilla Pointer (or whoever was mentioned...). It is a woman named Lynn McGee. It may have been McKee, McBee, or something like that, I couldn't tell what the one letter was.

Lynn McCree is the chick in the pictures. She is also the one in Sid's dream. However, the actress in the picture that is WITH Sid is Linda McCree. I tried to look it up at IMDb but I can't find how they are linked. I assume that they are sisters because they look alike, but I'm not sure.

I don't know about Rose McGowan being in Scream 3 but she is in Scream 2. At the beginning where Jada Pinkett and Omar Epps are at the theater, Rose is somewhere in the audience. Look carefully. I think this was in reference to her saying, "Please don't kill Mr. Ghostface, I want to be in the sequel," which she said in the first movie.

The girl in the front at the movies is not Tatum, she looks like her but is not her, look again

Umm... although it does look a hell of a lot like Rose Magowen (dont know how to spell)... it isnt. I have Scream 3 on DVD and i watched it with the full length commentery and they said that the pictures are actually of the actress who plays sidneys mother. They said she was a model when she was young so they had great publicity stills. Sorry... but you're wrong!

That's not Rose McGowan in those young pictures. If you watch the DVD version of the movie and put on the Audio Commentary, you will hear Wes Craven talking about the pictures. Those pictures are pictures of the woman who played Sidney's mother. She was a model when she was younger so they were able to use the pictures of her in her younger days. Come on people - get with it!

Uh....Katie, she's not just dating Marilyn Manson....SHE MARRIED THE FREAK!!! now....how is THAT for scary?

I have watched Scream 2 and I would like to point out that after wrapping filming Scream 1 Rose McGowen died her hair black so that is not her in the audience in Scream 2.

For the record, Rose was never married to Marilyn Manson. She was, however, dating and engaged to him for a really long time. However, they have since broken up. She is not with him anymore. Rose can be seen in the new season of Charmed, replacing Shannen Dougherty (her spot, but as a long lost sister, not the same role). Rose never did a cameo in Scream 2 either. She had been rumored to have a cameo, but never actually did. In fact, she was shooting another film at the time Scream 2 was being filmed. Also, she said in an interview with the horror magazine Fangoria that she didn't do a cameo.

Okay, for all you smart people out there.... 1) That is NOT Rose MaGowen in the opening of SCREAM 2. If you remembered what she looked like, you would know that it DEFINETELY wasn't her. 2) That is NOT Rose MaGowen in the SCREAM 3 "Maureen Prescott" photos. It was another actress (who's name is mentioned in the SCREAM 3 commentary by Wes Craven) who luckily had old publicity shots of herself. So put that one in your back pocket.

Uh...NOW she divorced the Freak Marilyn Manson and now appears on Charmed!!!!!!!!!!

This actually has nothing to do with this egg but in the scene where Gale Weathers (is that how its spelled) and the one who plays her in Stab 3 are trying to find Sydney's mom as an actress the archive lady who helps them is... Carrie Fisher, aka. Princess Leia from Star Wars.

Omigosh! You all like change your minds every second! Here, let me clear everything up! Rose Mcgowan's only connection to the scream series is as tatum in the first one. Maureen Prescott (aka. sidneys mom) was Lynn McRee throughout the whole series. And Wes Craven isn't in the Hospital scene, he was in it when they shot it yes, but he got cut out on the editing room floor. Instead look for him on the tour of the studio with a camera. And the photos are of Lynn McRee when younger, and the one of her and sid was her too. And finally Rose and Marilyn Manson aren't married or dating. She was his live in partner, and they allegedly got engaged but called it off. OK there!

First, the woman in the pictures is the same woman the plays sid's mother in sids dreams. Second, Rose was in Scream 2. I'm not sure where but i think it was in the audience at the movie theater.
