“I liked her best as “Maggie the cat” in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof...”

Yep, that was a great flik. While not one of her best, she did pretty good in Cleopatra. An amazing and tragic life story in many ways but she brought much enjoyment to the screen. RIP Liz. Her movies are her legacy for most of us.
She almost died of pneumonia during the filming of Cleopatra.
Many don’t know it, but that movie was originally conceived as a two-parter. Cleopatra and Julius Ceasar and Cleopatra and Mark Antony
