Death Becomes Her

(1992)Directed by Robert Zemeckis104 min · PG-13Comedy, Fantasy, Horror
In one small bottle... The fountain of youth. The secret of eternal life. The power of an ancient potion. Sometimes it works... sometimes it doesn't.

Madeline Ashton Menville (Meryl Streep), a fading Broadway star, reconnects with Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn), an old rival she once stole a husband from. The two women learn of a potion that halts aging forever and both drink it in pursuit of eternal beauty. What follows is a darkening descent into vanity and preservation, where the price of staying young becomes impossible to pay.
