The many faces of Cleopatra we saw over the years

It's been 2000 years since it was walking the land and it remains a style icon and there are countless films made about it and it is constantly referenced even in pop culture. Let's take a look at some examples of Cleopatra being represented on the screen over the years.


History books often get this image to be boring, but if you think about it, there are so many characters throughout the story that have been absolutely legendary and fascinating. And how do we know from them? Thanks to these "boring" history books. Cleopatra is out of doubt a legendary figure in history and has also become an icon in the beauty and fashion industry. It's been 2000 years since it was walking the land and it remains a style icon and there are countless films made about it and it is constantly referenced even in pop culture. Let's take a look at some examples of Cleopatra being represented on the screen over the years.

Vivien Leigh

The legendary Vivien Leigh played Cleopatra in the film of 1945 Caesar and Cleopatra. The story turned around Young Cleopatra Julius Caesar meeting who teaches him how to be the leader of Egypt. And all this in the midst of the Roman civil war. Cleopatra's costumes and makeup in this film are to die on the floor.

Katy Perry

Although Katy Perry did not play Cleopatra in a movie, she dressed like her in her 2013 music video for dark horson song. Knowing the love of Katy Perry to dress in bright colors and unique costumes - this music video really offers some entertaining visuals. It was definitely a unique and modernized version of Cleopatra, but the stay remains, it remains a relevant icon to date.

Monica Bellucci

If you have never seenAsterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra - What did you do with your life? This film is comedy gold and honestly, everyone should look at it. This may not be the most accurate film on Cleopatra, but it's the funniest you'll see and Monica Bellucci as Cleo is amazing.

Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor was already a style icon of his time, so it's logical to play Cleopatra in a movie. But there are so many Cleopatra named films that we feel the need to clarify that the 1963 version is where you can see Liz in all its clea glory.

Sophia Loren

Do you even need more incentive to watch a movie when you already know Sophia Loren? And she plays Cleopatra. The 1954 movie two nights with Cleopatra really took risks. Even in 2020, we always called some of the risky scenes, then for 1954, it should be scandalous.

Claudette Colbert

Here is another film called Cleopatra. This was done in 1934 and was directed by Cecil B. Demille and featuring Claudette Colbert as Cleopatra. Cecil was an altogether prolific filmmaker, he made 70 films during his life and professional career, and he was a very good.

Amanda Barrie

Portez and Cleo is a 1964 British film featuring Amanda Barrie as Cleopatra. It's a comedy that takes a lot of creative freedoms, but it's a joy to look. And when you look at the costumes, Cleopatra is very similar to a Fashionista of the 1960s but makes it gold. This is probably the strangest film of Leopard you ever see, but you know, it's a comedy of 1960, what are you waiting for?

Leonor Varela

This is not a movie, but a miniseria based on a fictional novel "the memories of Cleopatra". This one was conducted in 1999 and Stars Leonor Valera as Cleo and Timothy Dalton Asesar. You will see many familiar faces in this area and it's a drama, so you know it will be a fun watch. It might have been done in the late 90s, but these departments are very well the test of time.
