When a fading actress learns of an immortality treatment, she sees it as a way to outdo her long-time rival.

    Meryl Streep, Goldie Hawn, and Bruce Willis star in Robert Zemeckis' hilariously twisted dark comedy about greed, vanity, sex, immortality, lifeā€¦and death. Broadway has-been Madeline Ashton (Streep) and beauty expert Helen Sharp (Hawn) are lifelong rivals, competing for men, fame, and beauty. Caught in the middle are plastic surgeon Ernest Menville (Willis) and a beautiful enchantress (Isabella Rossellini), who peddles an ancient elixir that promises eternal life and an everlasting youthful appearance.
