Death Becomes Her (1992)

Drags of Anarchy presents two unique Pride films with an introduction by ChelseaBoy, to get you in the mood for 'We Are Them' on 2 August!

In the classic nineties black comedy Death Becomes Her a novelist (Goldie Hawn) loses her man (Bruce Willis) to a movie star and former friend (Meryl Streep), and she winds up in a psychiatric hospital. Years later, she returns home to confront the now-married couple, looking radiant. Her ex-husband's new wife wants to know her secret, and discovers that she has been taking a mysterious drug which grants eternal life to the person who drinks it. The actress follows suit, but discovers that immortality has a price.

ChelseaBoy is a drag queen, performer and visual artist, known for his futuristic looks, high-fashion aesthetic and boundary-pushing creativity. He gained international recognition as a finalist on RuPaul’s Drag Race Holland, where he impressed with his unique blend of fashion, performance and storytelling.
