She married and buried 2 of her brothers, captivated 2 of the most powerfulmen of her time only to bury them also, and--famously--took her own life atthe 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.
