At the age of 31, Elizabeth Taylor did her Cleopatra epic film role. Traditionally, someone younger portrayed such a role, yet due to the larger-than-life personality and undeniable charm, Taylor's movie transcended the issue of an age gap. She made her portrayal breathtaking by keeping audiences of the whole world under her dramatic spell.

Although she was wrong about her age and history, Taylor's intense depiction of Cleopatra has been one of the most iconic in film history. She proved to be an excellent actress and, thus, a Hollywood legend.
