By Vika https://pictolic.com/article/7-vivid-images-of-cleopatra-on-our-screen.htmlThe name of this woman has become synonymous with "eternal" beauty. That is why filmmakers chose actresses with memorable faces to embody the image of the Egyptian queen.
7 PHOTOS
1. 1934. France. Claudette Colbert
Although S. DeMille's film was nominated for 5 Oscars at once, it won only an award related to the work of the cameraman. “Cleopatra” turned out to be nothing - the leading lady constantly disrupted the shooting, confident that the decoration of the lady pharaoh was sitting badly on her ...
2. 1945. Great Britain. Vivien Leigh
The flighty beauty, better known to us as Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind, remains the same in G. Pascal's Caesar and Cleopatra. The Farewell dramaturgical work of Bernard Shaw was used as a script. Shaw himself believed, "Lee doesn't fit."
3. 1954. Italy. Sophia Loren
After 9 years, a picture of M. Mattoli appeared with the most promising actress of his homeland at that time. In "Two Nights with Cleopatra" Sophie proved that she was cooler than the more famous Gina Lolobrigida (the one who was predicted to play the royal role). The image is young. Sophie was 19!
4. 1963. The USA. Elizabeth Taylor
And again after 9 years! The ancient Egyptian baton passes to the Americans. It was a success: four Oscars and a pharaonic wardrobe worth $194,800 (at the time just a huge amount of money). The tape "Cleopatra" showed a woman capable of love and hate Taylor and Burton began a high-profile romance on the set: Elizabeth did not even play feelings!
5. 1979. USSR. Elena Koreneva
And here is the "Soviet" ruler of the Nile. A solo performance by A. Belinsky "Caesar and Cleopatra" was released. Cinema lovers, comparing the work of Vivien Leigh with the work of Elena Koreneva, call the latter "more boring." But Smoktunovsky embodied Caesar in more detail than all his predecessors ...
6. 2002. France. Monica Bellucci
In the next episode of the comedy franchise about Asterix and Obelix (“Mission Cleopatra”), the African diva came out the most elegant (the costumes were fantastic, not historical).
7. 2013? The USA. Angelina Jolie
In 2013, an experienced Taiwanese director was founded. But the film did not hit the screens.
