Description:
She used her beauty and cunning to rule a mighty civilization and to subdue the world's most powerful men. She was the woman no man could resist, but what drove her to commit suicide at such a young age? Cleopatra was the most powerful woman of the ancient world. Already a temptress at age twelve, she offered herself as a gift to Julius Caesar, then used his influence to capture the Egyptian throne form her brother. Later, when the powerful Marc Antony summoned her to Tarsus, she arrived on a river barge dressed up as the goddess Venus. This fascinating portrait of the Queen of the Nile traces her short life, from her noble birth to her legendary suicide. Ancient records combined with modern re-enactments and computer-generated graphics bring her remarkable story to life. This is the definitive look at the glamorous, passionate and manipulative queen who has beguiled us for 2,000 years.

She married and buried 2 of her brothers, captivated 2 of the most powerful men of her time only to bury them also, and--famously--took her own life at the age of 39 with the help of an asp. In this A&E Biography subtitled Destiny's Queen, narrator Karen Allen (Raiders of the Lost Ark) recounts the life of the highly educated queen who took the throne at age 18, outwitted her 10-year-old brother-husband's advisors, and seduced the 52-year-old Julius Caesar by rolling herself up in a carpet and having herself delivered to his room--all before age 21. Using reenactments without faces, sculptures, paintings, and footage of ruins, this 44-minute documentary illustrates the life of the most powerful woman of her time--from her famous liaisons to her masterful political skill to her role as mother to 4. Painted by the Romans as an evil seductress, Cleopatra finds redemption here a couple millennia later from historians with a slightly different perception. --Kimberly Heinrichs
