en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Becomes_HerPlotActress Madeline Ashton (Meryl Streep) and writer Helen Sharp (Goldie Hawn) are longtime rivals. Helen's life falls apart when glamorous Madeline steals Helen's fiancé, plastic surgeon Ernest Menville (Bruce Willis), and marries him. 7 years later, Helen is now an obese, depressed woman, is arrested and placed in a mental institution. Obsessed with getting revenge against Madeline, she struggles in the institution with healing. Madeline's career on Broadway ends in 1978, and 14 years later she is still struggling with her fading looks and bygone acting career. Ernest, now an alcoholic and miserable in his marriage, has been reduced to working as a high-end mortician. Helen, meanwhile, has become an established author with her book "Forever Young". When Madeline and Helen meet again at Helen's book-signing party, Helen appears miraculously rejuvenated, thin, and youthful. After a failed attempt to spend the night with her young lover, a jealous and hurt Madeline resorts to the aid of the mysterious Lisle von Rhoman (Isabella Rossellini), who claims she has discovered the secret of eternal youth. She offers Madeline a magical potion to reverse the process of aging, on condition that, after 10 years, Madeline must disappear from the public eye forever to protect Lisle's secret. Madeline purchases the potion at an undisclosed – but clearly very high – price, drinks it, and is delighted to see her body visibly losing the signs of aging as she watches in a mirror, leaving her thin, firm, and young. Lisle then warns Madeline to take perfect care of her new body. Helen, meanwhile, seduces Ernest and reveals to him a detailed and foolproof plot to kill Madeline by poisoning her with Narconol (a powerful alcohol-based tranquilizer), subsequently placing her in a car on Mulholland Drive and faking a drunk driving accident. After some initial qualms, Ernest realizes that this can finally free himself of Madeline, and agrees to the conspiracy. Back at home, Madeline is confronted by an angry Ernest, whom she rejects due to her newly-restored youth and confidence. He loses control and begins to grapple with her until they reach the head of their grand staircase. Madeline teeters, her high heeled shoes wedging her at the very edge of the top step. She asks Ernest for help; however, when he hesitates, she cannot help but bellow "Hurry up ya wimp!". In response, Ernest pokes her with a finger, sending her tumbling down the staircase. She breaks her neck and dies, with her neck twisted backwards. While on the phone with Helen, Earnest gets advice on how to make it look like an accident, planning to say that Madeline fell while he was on the phone with Helen as time of death is difficult to pin down to the exact minute. Suddenly, Madeline wakes up, much to Earnest's shock and surprise. After literally getting her head on straight, Madeline is rushed to the emergency room, where the doctor (an uncredited Sydney Pollack) tells her she has three fractures in her wrist, broken two vertebrae, has a body temperature below 80 degrees, and her heart is not beating. He rushes out of the room and dies of a heart attack after realizing that Madeline's physical body has died, even though she is still walking and talking. Returning home, Ernest uses his mortician skills to repair the damage done to Madeline's body, having taken the 'miracle' as a sign that the two of them are meant to be together. Helen then reappears at their home to bury Madeline – whom she thinks is dead – in Death Valley. A livid Madeline overhears the plot, and then kills Helen with a single shotgun blast to the stomach that sends her body flying into the pond on the terrace. However, despite having a large gaping hole blown through her abdomen, Helen reawakens; Madeline guesses correctly that Helen was also a customer of Lisle's. As the two undead rivals fight (failing to do any real damage or even inflict pain upon each other), Ernest decides to leave them both. Eventually the two ladies reconcile their differences, admitting Helen thought Madeline was cheap and Madeline hurt Helen on purpose. Madeline and Helen beg Ernest to repair their incredibly damaged bodies. Ernest agrees on the condition that he never sees them again after the work is done. However, Madeline and Helen discover that his repairs are only temporary; Madeline and Helen will need Ernest to perform routine maintenance to their bodies forever. They then conspire to make Ernest drink the potion as well, knocking him unconscious and taking him to Lisle as he tries to leave them. Although Lisle makes an impassioned argument for immortality, showing him a sample of her work on his aging hand, Ernest refuses the potion stating that a life lived forever is worthless because your friends would all die before you and boredom would be inevitable. As he flees through Lisle's labyrinthine mansion, he encounters many celebrities generally assumed to be dead, including Marilyn Monroe, Greta Garbo, Andy Warhol, Elvis Presley, James Dean and Jim Morrison. In trying to escape he finds himself on the roof of the house, trying to get to an exit on the other side of a tower, when Madeline and Helen surprise him by running onto the roof as well. Ernest slips and his suspenders stick onto the rain gutter, braking it free from the eave and swinging him over an open pit. Madeline and Helen implore one last time that he drink the potion so he will survive his inevitable fall. Ernest refuses again, lets the potion fall, then falls from the gutter and into Lisle's swimming pool. Cushioned and saved by the water landing, he steals James Dean's car, escaping for good. With Ernest gone and Lisle refusing to allow them back into her house after their mistakes, Helen and Madeline realize, much to their chagrin, that they are now forced to take care of each other...forever. Thirty-seven years later, Ernest has died. Madeline and Helen attend his funeral, using veils to cover their horribly deteriorated forms. Ernest is eulogized as having lived a good and adventurous life, accomplishing much more in his mortal lifespan than Helen and Madeline are ever likely to do in their self-centered immortality. Throughout the service, Madeline and Helen bicker endlessly, but look up at the priest when he describes Ernest as having attained eternal life and youth through his accomplishments, his good works, and his children and grandchildren who carry on his name. Faced with an alternative concept of immortality, Madeline and Helen mock the priest with Madeline saying "blah blah blah" as they leave. Outside the church, Madeline and Helen continue to bicker over a lost can of spray paint. Helen then slips on the missing can and falls into a position which recalls Madeline's earlier predicament: she is teetering at the edge of the church's external staircase, her high heeled shoes wedging her at the edge of the top step. She then begs Madeline for help. Madeline won't help Helen due to the argument over how forgetful she is and Helen falls, but at the last minute manages to angrily pull Madeline down with her. Tumbling down another long flight of stairs, the two literally shatter to pieces at the bottom. Helen's tottering, decapitated head then queries, "Do you remember where you parked the car?"
