Death Becomes Her, an Academy Award winning fantasy that broke new ground with state of the art visuals, helmed by Robert Zemeckis(<em>Back to The Future Trilogy, Forrest Gump). </em>Zemeckis had already made a name for himself for theatre goers, and helped launch the career of a 1980s Michael J Fox into unprecedented heights, and with Death Becomes Her, Zemeckis knew he had to raise the bar with CGI that had never been seen before.  One key part of the films great success was its incredibly talented A-list stars, including 2 Oscar Winning leading women. Meryl Streep(<em>Kramer Vs Kramer, Sophie's Choice, The Devil Wears Prada, Mama Mia, this list could go for a long time lol) </em>stars as narcissistic and fading actress Madeline Ashton.  Goldie Hawn(<em>Cactus Flower, Shampoo, Overboard, The First Wives Club) </em>plays the long time frenemy Helen Sharp an obsessed and traumatized woman who seeks revenge against Madeline. Bruce Willis(<em>Die Hard, Moonlighting, Fifth Element, The Sixth Sense) </em>is Ernest Menville, who at the beginning is Helen's fiancé until he is instantly infatuated at first sight of Madeline, leaving Helen thus causing her to spiral out of control. As years pass and Madeline finds herself at a certain age in a young industry, she seeks a way to defy the laws of nature. Madeline along with Helen find themselves coming face to face with their differences, while also learning the commonalties shared between the two.  The comedy was a big success in 1992, and was quite a departure for its leads but has proved over the years to be regarded as one of Zemeckis' best films. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>A 21st District Media Production</strong></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Talk to the Hand is created and Hosted by Timmy </strong></p><p><strong>Executive Produced By- Zachary Friederich and Timmy</strong></p><p><strong>Writers and Producers are Randy Stewart and Nic Stewart</strong></p><p><br></p><p>Find us on our social pages</p><p><br></p><p>https://www.facebook.com/groups/652870355218612</p><p><br></p><p>https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093215897780</p><p><br></p><p>The21stDistrictStudios@gmail.com</p><p><br></p>","author_name":"Timmy S"}
