She was taking a bath when she studio called to ask her to play Cleopatra. She hollered to her husband "Tell them I'll do it for 1 million!" The rest is movie history!

Player #163705, I was working at Elstree Studios where she was making, I believe, The Secret Ceremony, and serving tea to the rest of the cast when she came down the stairs. everyone turned to look, even well known actors. She was stunning! She was wearing a purple two piece suit which matched her eyes.

gillie, comments are missing because people delete the game. As for looking at the comments, well, I find eyes are useful. Seriously, the only way is to flick back through your history.

SneakyMole92698, I agree. I have shaky hands & hit the wrong space. I wish you had the option of saying cancel or confirm.

Elizabeth Taylor's eyes were a very deep blue that could appear violet due to lighting and makeup, but true violet eyes only occur in people with albinism.

Player #15014983, well if they did that they should delete what others have to say about it. why do we want to read what others have to say about one's comment and we can't know that comment? It isn't fair.

She deserved every penny of it. I digged her in Cleopatra. May she rest in peace 😇.

gillie, this game will let you read only a limited number of comments due to limited spacing I guess. There is never a way to see them all.
