Sketch of Ayesha from 'She'
- Made:
- 1965
Two pencil sketches by Roy Ashton depicting the special effects make up transformation of Ayesha. Ursula Andress played the leading role of Ayesha 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 and the climax of the film shows Ayesha's transformation to the hideous appearance of her true age.
