Cleopatra in Ads

By 1902 Palmolive had become known for its stylish advertising and sophisticated packaging and their message emphasised ingredient purity and the benefits of using their products.
In 1910 the company employed Lord & Thomas advertising agency to help them re position the brand into a luxury one that would enhance the beauty of women. This national campaign saw a series of wonderfully designed advertisements using Egyptian iconography."

When Queen Cleopatra of Egypt was given the area around Alanya as a present from the Roman general Antony, she bathed at the foot of the cliff every day. Originally there was a tunnel, leading from the castle directly to her private beach, through which she was carried whenever she wanted to swim.

Catherine Zeta-Jones confirms plans in being Cleopatra
There has been much talk over the years about Catherine Zeta-Jones being Cleopatra. On The View on Friday June 15, 2012, Zeta-Jones was a guest where she addressed these rumors, “I just finished a movie with Steven Soderbergh and we have an idea - actually it was for a movie - to play Cleopatra. It’s a rock and roll musical movie, but we think it would just be fantastic on Broadway.”
