It regards the old French existentialist film Orphee (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041719/), a modern version of the Orpheus myth, in which Orphee, after a traffic accident is carried off by a beautiful and mysterious woman, who then resurrects him, followed by this bit of dialogue:
her: Do you know who I am? him: I know. her: Who am I? him: My death.
This might be coincidence, but with JMS, that is not a concept that often occurs. See also this picture (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Casares) of the actress (although in the film, she wears a more severe hairstyle and makeup).
