At least they got one thing right.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Notorious_Cleopatra
The Wikipedia says its grossly inaccurate.
I've always heard that Cleopatra was Egyptian.
So, at least they got one thing right, for a change.
Its the only depiction I've ever heard of where Cleopatra is actually played by an honest-to-goodness black chick.
Any other time I've heard of Cleopatra being represented visually, its by a some white actor.
