Why isn't Tracy Ulman in the 1992 movie Death Becomes Her, when she appears in scenes in the trailer?

Answer 1

The film was a really great piece of cinema, way ahead of its time, alas the dvd is not such a great performance. It is without a "deleted scenes" feature for this movie, which would answer your question.

not only was the alternate ending that was shot and dropped at the last minute - I remember someone telling me it involved Streep and Hawn's characters on a mountain in Switzerland trying to come up with new things to do or places to go and finding immortality to be quite boring. There are also entire scenes with Tracy Ullman that were fully cut from this movie when her character was completely deleted. And, there is the msytery of the Greta Garbo actress on the end credits. Someone is listed as having portrayed Garbo in the movie, but I have never been able to find her in the film. James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Elvis, and Jim Morrison are clearly at Lisel's party...but I don't know where Garbo is supposed to be (yet, a scene with her was evidently shot, since an actress is credited as playing her). That scene must also have been cut.

So Tracy was shot at great ength, and the trailer was made for the film, then in the final edit, she was cut out of the film, but the trailer was out and about at the cinemas.

Answer 2

It's just the producer's decisions to cut certain scenes and lines from the final movie because when the trailer is made, the movie is obviously not completed yet. And there are some trailers where scenes are completely made for the trailer.

Answer 3

Death Becomes Her Deleted Scenes

Answer 4

According to the cast list she wasn't in it. Therefore my first suspicion that her scenes didn't make the final cut could be wrong.
