14. Mark Antony was born today in Rome in 83BCE. Have you ever seen “Cleopatra” starring Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra and Richard Burton as Mark Antony?


For school we had to go see the movie and then make a bigger report on it. I got an A on the report. But for the life of me I can’t remember anything about the movie. The only thing I remember was how beautiful both actors were. Her eyes were beautiful on the big screen.

Does anyone really remember this movie?

I remember it, Patt, although I didn't see it at the time. The scandal around Liz and Dick and the fact she left Eddie Fisher for him seemed to be in the news more than information about the movie. I also remember hearing she didn't want to do the movie, so demanded $1,000,000, thinking they'd turn her down. That was the starting point for actors getting such huge salaries.

Does anyone remember Rex Harrison played Julius Caesar? He was a bigger name than Richard Burton at that time, I believe.

I saw Debbie Reynolds in The Rat Race around that time, and it struck me how sad she looked.

Wow, the things that are buried in my mind!

I remember a lot of the controversy of the film. I agree ET's eyes were lovely.
