During an appearance onThe Drew Barrymore ShowwithScreamcostars Neve Campbell and David Arquette (also Cox’s ex-husband), the actress opened up about crafting a different signature look for Gale each film.
“EachScreamI would try to come up with a different look for her that was just over the top gross, or ugly or too much,” Cox, 57, told host Drew Barrymore, who famously starred in the OGScream’s opening slasher scene.
Campbell, 48, jumped in saying, “The bangs?”

“Oh that was the worst. I forgot about that. There was nothing worse. That was a big lesson in life because that will forever be on film,” Cox said.
However, the bangs weren’t actually Cox’s natural hair; the actress wore clip-in bangs each day of shooting, but the problem was that the crew “only had one set” to work with.
“One set of bangs. I remember they were cut on the set. You are supposed to have a thing that starts back here, far back and that’s where the part goes for the bangs,” Cox explained as she pointed to the back of the head where the faux bang should be placed. “For some reason, they put it here [pointing toward the center of her head] and started cutting it and I was like, ‘Well I don’t have a choice now.'”
Looking back on the day Cox stepped out with the freshly cut faux bangs, Campbell remembered trying to politely convince her that they looked okay. “I remember that day because we were all like, ‘No they are good, really,'” she said with a laugh.
Arquette, 50, added, “I felt so bad for you!”
In Feb. 2019, Arquette, who was married to Cox from 1999 to 2013, admitted the infamous hairstyle was his idea.
The actor left a cheeky comment on an Instagram meme that read, “If you ever feel like s—, just remember Courteney Cox’s hair inScream 3.”
Arquette admitted: “I have to take the fall for this. I suggested a Bettie Page look. It just didn’t work. I take full responsibility.”
