I was 12 years old when I first watched Death Becomes Her. I instantly fell in love with its blend of dark comedy and fantasy. The film not only entertained but also offered insights into women’s struggles with self-image and competitiveness. With its vibrant yet gothic color palette, stunning special effects makeup, and incredible performances, it quickly became one of my all-time favorites.

I’ve always adored Goldie Hawn in her other films, but Helen Sharp is definitely at the top of my list as my favorite character she has portrayed. She nails the role, exuding an irresistible blend of glamour and menace that is absolutely captivating.

So captivating that I’ve had her on my art bucket list for years. I decided it was time to bring Helen back from the dead… again. So, I rewatched the movie for the umpteenth time to decide which phases of Helen’s looks I wanted to capture. I chose to focus on her two “eternal youth” looks, before and after the iconic “Look at me, Ernest! Just look at me! I’m soaking wet!” moment. I also knew I wanted to incorporate the bold and dramatic hues from the film.

So with that all being said, here is my latest split face portrait I call “Just Look At Me!” done in pencil, chalk pastels, and colored pencil…
