See “Death Becomes Her” movie star Isabella Rossellini visit Michelle Williams in same role on Broadway

Isabella Rossellini is revisiting one of her most beloved films.

She stopped by to watch Death Becomes Her, the Broadway adaptation of the 1992 film she costarred in with Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis, on Tuesday, making sure to meet Destiny's Child alum Michelle Williams, who plays Viola Van Horn, the character based on Rossellini's own Lisle Von Rhuman.

"What a fun night at musical DEATH BECOMES HER meeting the entire cast," Rossellini wrote on social media. "The extraordinary Michelle Williams @michellewilliams who plays the role I had in the film version, the super talented director/choreographer Christopher Gattelli @@cgattelli with the complicity of my friend Scot Alan @scotpatrick who organized this fun night . … and of course at the end I drank some of the 'elixir of eternal youth' @deathbecomesher.'"

Directed by Robert Zemeckis, the dark comedy is about actress Madeline Ashton (Streep) using a potion given to her by Rhuman (Rossellini) to hold onto her looks and best her rival, Hawn's Helen Sharp, who also imbibes. The movie snagged an Oscar for the visual effects it used to show the distorted bodies that result from the potion and more.

Rossellini has said that she was a fan of the script from the start.

"I wanted that role very much," the model and actress told Vulture in September 2022. "Robert Zemeckis, who's such a lovely director and wonderful person, told me I was one of the first people to test, so he needed to test more people because the studio wanted that. I kept on saying, 'But I work for Lancôme! I sell anti-aging cream! I'm the perfect one!' He called me a month later and said, 'You know what? The role is yours.' I was so delighted."

Rossellini, whose credits also include awards darling Conclave, David Lynch's Blue Velvet, and the canceled Max series Julia, said that the people involved in the film didn't realize it would turn into what it has.

"We thought it was going to be like Roger Rabbit, a film for families," she said. "But it has a cult following, and mostly a following from the gay community. That was surprising to us. We appreciate it, but it wasn't the aim."

At one point during the interview, Rossellini said she'd heard the movie was going to be developed into a musical, and she recalled having one reaction: 'I want to be part of it!"

Tickets for Death Becomes Her on Broadway performances through August are on sale now.
