Isabella Rossellini Wanted to ‘Protect’ Her Body Double During ‘Death Becomes Her’ Nude Scene: I Was ‘Like a Mother’

'Death Becomes Her' star Isabella Rossellini explained why she wanted to 'protect' her double during a nude scene.

“I think it’s important, if you do a nude scene, to take responsibility,” Rossellini said, “and also you’re there, so you can say to the director when something makes you feel uncomfortable. While the cult classic “Death Becomes Her” has influenced modern projects such as Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” music video with Jenna Ortega and buzzy Cannes breakout film “The Substance” starring Margaret Qualley and Demi Moore, the 1992 feature almost looked very different. The film centers on Streep and Hawn who play rival immortals fighting over a love interest (Bruce Willis).
