Here's an earlier version of the script. Notable differences from the finished film include Toni (the Tracey Ullman character) and the original ending,the absence of Helen getting fat, Helen taking the potion AFTER Madeline, and Lisle von Rhumans confessing to having killed Shakespeare, Lincoln and Max Factor because they refused to buy the potion.
Notice also that Chagall is called Louis Jourdan in this version, and Dakota is Marcello. This draft includes dialogue for scenes besides the original ending that were filmed but cut. -

Wow! Those sound interesting and pretty cool!
Thinking about that, I kind of wish that they would've added Lisle confessing to murdering Shakespeare, Lincoln, and Max Factor in the movie. Because it would've made her character more darker and sinister, would've shown that it did make perfect sense for her to want to seemingly kill Ernest after he refused to take the potion and fled from her, and to show that she's not how old she say she is which means she's a WHOLE LOT OLDER than 71. Perhaps, the movie would've been slightly different if these things and the Toni subplot were added into the final version. But, it still turned out to be a great movie.
