It's "very predictable" in the sense that she is the most beautiful woman who ever lived. |

Agreed in principle with all above, but if you've not watched Claudette Colbert in DeMille's "Cleopatra," you've missed not only a truly beautiful woman, but one of the best over-the-top movies ever made. The constant symbolism--especially when Cleo takes Old Marc up the river on her barge--would make Freud blush. A HOOT! TVAG |

How about Foxy Cleopatra.
Is that Marc Antony by her side? |

she is the most beautiful woman who ever lived. She was a knockout when she was 20 but she had one of those faces that don't age well. In 'Ivanhoe' you keep wanting to smack some sense into Robert Taylor but by 'Cleopatra' her co-star Richard Burton described her thus: She has an insipid double chin, her legs are too short and she has a slight potbelly. Always the gentleman he did add: She has a wonderful bosom, though. I wouldn't even put her in the top twenty for movie-stars. Then there's this from comedienne Paula Poundstone: You have to be careful what you wish for. When I was a little girl I wanted to look just like Elizabeth Taylor
and now
I do. |
