I was thinking the same thing, and thanks for your comment again. I’m wondering if this is exactly when she’d flown to Europe to start “Cleopatra?”

That is a fair guess, as the filming of “Cleopatra “ was started in the UK prior to all the budget and health issues that followed.

Beautiful woman. Those eyes. Her and Sophia Loren.

She was ethereal…

Not a great story! One article stated she had several “near death experiences “ during her life, and that was one of them.

And she ended up with the famous scar. Still gorgeous and compelling as ever afterwards.

Absolutely gorgeous photo of Elizabeth, at about 29 years old. At this point in her career, she was on her fourth husband, soon to be involved in an extramarital affair with Richard Burton (a future husband) on the epic film, “Cleopatra.” According to the photographer, it was taken for an intended Life Magazine cover, but was not used.
