Four sequential pencil drawings by Roy Ashton for 'She'
Four sequential pencil drawings - on one sheet of paper - by Roy Ashton (1909-1995), showing the special effects make up transformation of Ayesha, created in 1964. Ursula Andress played the leading role of Ayesha in the Hammer film, 'She' (1965). Ayesha achieved immortality by bathing in the ice blue flames of a mystic fire, but a second visit to the flames proved fatal. The climax of the film shows Ayesha's transformation to the extreme appearance of her true age.
