Madeline Ashton-"I See Me!"

This is the intro to "Death Becomes Her". The movie starts with a Broad Way performance by Madeline Ashton played by Meryl Streep. Like most of director Robert Zemeckis' films, Death Becomes Her was a technically complex movie to make at the time, and the production had its fair share of fuck-ups. For example, in a scene where Helen Sharp and Madeline Ashton are battling with shovels, Meryl Streep accidentally scarred Goldie Hawn's face. Streep admitted that she disliked working on a project that focused so heavily on special effects, saying:
"I think it's tedious. Whatever concentration you can apply to that kind of comedy is just shredded. You stand there like a piece of machinery— they should get machinery to do it. I loved how it turned out. But it's not fun to act to a lampstand. 'Pretend this is Goldie, right here! Uh, no, I'm sorry, Bob, she went off the mark by five centimeters, and now her head won't match her neck!' It was like being at the dentist."
