Who should have played Cleopatra?


Audrey Hepburn or Gene Tierney would have been much better.

It had to be Liz!

It never would have been a great film, with the overlong edit and stodgy script, it was not something that a good or even great actress could elevate. Quite frankly, without Liz there to glam up the film and make worldwide headlines with her private life, it'd have been an even bigger flop!

Mary Tyler Moore
