This is to say that YouTube is on me during *all waking hours* - like in the backround, but I don't watch long form things - certainly not movies. Basically history/biography - iow, all *GOSSIP* - history/biography is GOSSIP. Gosh, YouTube has torn down all heroes for me, exposed everybody's sick lives. And with the Greek/Roman/Egyptians, has demolished "Christianity" (I was already agnostic or something), but turns out the so-called apostle Paul took over and invented the whole shebang, well I'll stop here.

Vivien LEIGH as Cleopatra - no idea whether this is actual or created [View all] UTUSN Friday OP

She was in 1945's Caesar and Cleopatra with Claude Rains. rsdsharp Friday #1

All those lives (hers, Larry, MANY others) were so wild and "free" and tortured. UTUSN Friday #2

That might be a screen test for a role Vivien Leigh didn't get. Jeebo Friday #3

Thanks. I'm really a single-issue type - like her/this *only*. Not "Cleopatra" or other versions per se. UTUSN Friday #4
