Madeline Ashton's (Meryl Streep) effects spin around head rig from Robert Zemeckis' supernatural dark comedy Death Becomes Her. After drinking a potion to reverse the aging process, actress Ashton was pushed down a flight of stairs by her husband, Dr. Ernest Menville (Bruce WIllis), which broke her neck but did not kill her.

This fully-detailed silicone head and torso section was created by Academy Award-winning special effects group Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) in the likeness of the actress for effects tests. It contains a fiberglass core and includes a fully-detailed eyes and mouth complete with resin teeth as well as a neck area with elements accentuating the broken bones underneath the skin. It is in excellent overall condition with some minimal signs of aging, some dirt marks throughout, and two indentations on one cheek. Dimensions: 29" x 19 1/2" x 10" (73.75 cm x 49.5 cm x 25.5 cm)

Estimate: $2,000 - 3,000
