Ayesha from 'She'
- Made:
- 1964
A pencil drawing of Ayesha by Roy Ashton (1909-1995) in 1964. The drawing reveals the seventh stage of a special effects make-up sequence. Ayesha, played by Ursula Andress undergoes two thousand years of ageing in the Hammer film, 'She' (1965). Ayesha had 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.
