19 Artists That Brought Cleopatra to Life on the Big Screen
There are a few historical figures that have managed to escape textbooks and become, one way or the other, part of popular culture. Among them we will absolutely find Cleopatra, which is, well... a textbook case of what we described before: more than 2,000 years have passed since she roamed the Egyptian palaces, and she’s still imposing all kinds of beauty trends. She has been portrayed in all sorts of ways, from the femme fatale to the relentless seductress that the Romans thought she was. And of course, celebrities have not restrained themselves from bringing her to life in their own, very personal way.
So as a tribute to the legendary queen of Egypt and to all those celebrities who were up to the challenge of playing a part that portrayed her according to their time, Bright Side made a compilation for you to see how Cleopatra’s image evolved on screen.

I don't know which one is the most accurate, but I think Elizabeth Taylor or Katy Perry looks the best
I once read somewhere online that she wasn't beautiful at all, but she was really powerful so that's what attracted most people to her
So many Cleopatras and yet we haven't seen the real one. What an irony!
Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra was amazing!
