What I’ve read about Cleopatra she was actually considered plain, but it was the tone of her voice, demeanor and charm that won men over.

It’ll be interesting to see what forensic reconstruction they do on the skull to see what she might look like.

Absolutely!

Wealth, power, and position(s) had NOTHING to do with it!

That was supposedly the charm Ann Boleyn (plain, plain!) exerted over poor Henry VIII.

But she's the one who lost her head.
