dark shadows - Why did the witch crack like porcelain?

There is a
witch in the Tim Burton movie Dark Shadows. In a couple of scenes she is shown to crack
like she is made of porcelain? Specifically towards the end of the movie she starts
cracking away to revel a hollow interior.


What did the
witch crack like porcelain? Was this mentioned in the movie at all?



Answer


From
an href="http://movies.inquirer.net/3889/eva-green-a-vengeful-witch-in-dark-shadows-opens-may-10">interview
with Eva Green (who played Angelique):




I’ve always been a fan of Tim’s,” Green says. “He’s so creative, but

also open to suggestions, which is wonderful for an actor. We had the
same
understanding of Angelique’s character. He never treated her like
a
one-dimensional villain; he got her pain.”


Angelique is a
woman who has changed with the times. During the 18th
century, Angelique was
a dark-haired servant girl. As Angie, the CEO
of Angel Bay, she’s a
successful blonde businesswoman. “Tim wanted her
to look like the American
dream,” says Green. “Everything about her is
perfect. Too perfect. Perfect
makeup, red lips, platinum hair. She’s
very glamorous yet sophisticated. But,
little by little, from the
moment Barnabas escapes from his tomb, her facade
starts to crack.”
