Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature carved out to take our readers on a journey to TV and Film’s glorious past.
Today, we celebrate the dark comedy that is ‘Death Becomes Her’ starring Goldie Hawn and ‘Doubt’ actress Meryl Streep.
The release made its way to the world in 1992 via Universal Pictures and tells the grim (yet hilarious) tale of feuding artists keen to outperform each other in love, life…and death.
Bruce Willis filled the role of the project’s leading man and joined his aforementioned co-stars to turn its $55 million water into $149 million wine.
Never seen the movie?
You’re in for a Hollyweird and wonderful treat…
I love and live for this movie!!!! Yass @ thatgrapejuice for recognizing this hilarious way a head of its time gem!
YASSS!!! One of my classics!
Meryl Streep gave me life in this movie; her character was everything and more.
Another classic of mine is ‘Hocus Pocus’.
FACK! there were so many good movies in the ’90s.
This movie is great!!!! I was watching this the other day and me and my friend were saying how lazy Hollywood is now and doesn’t have any original ideas and that everything is a remake or a reboot.
This film is quality. lets hope it does’t get a remake.
I remember this movie from when I was a kid. Hilarious! Thanks for reminding me TGJ.
just watched it again the other day i love this movie
Wow! How random of TGJ but let me say this is one of my FAVE MOVIES! I know most of the lines and all. Since a kid, I loved it.
Not to mention when Meryl died and came back with the white outfit and blue eyes, she was killing. Both these ladies were in their 40sthen killing it.
CHILE, all of ya’ll just put me on to a movie that I can’t BELIEVE I’ve never heard of! AND it’s starring Queen Meryl? AND white chocolate Bruce Willis? Yaaaas! I’ll be watching soon…
Sooo crazy i was just looking up this movie to watch the other day. haha. #Classic
Meryl’s genius was invaluable to this movie’s script, cause it could’ve gone wrong. She just wore the comedic with the ease she has in all her roles. A loud classic!
I was caught of guard when saw this article on here.
Brilliant ?
This movie is amazing I think Rihanna and Beyonce should redo it no lie that would be dope
Hilarious that you think Rihanna and Beyoncé can do what Meryl and Goldie did in this film, delusional.
Meryl is just the best actress of the past century, the woman cannot do wrong, her longevity is impressive.
I love this film,just watched it for the umpteenth time a few back..lol..fave part..”Yes.. i would like to talk about…*clenched teeth* madeline Ashton..”????
Is beyonce gonna put y’all off pay roll for not making a post about her in like 8 hours?
Awesome
I absolutely LOVE this movie! The shade thrown in this movie is epic!!! Everything about this movie has stood the test of time, because it is still pure hilarity! Meryll and Goldie SLAYT!!
Goldie in that fat suit with a cabinet full of cake frosting still has me crying laughing
