does that account for inflation

$1,000,000 (1963) was a lot more than $1,000,000 (2019) when that movie came out meaning there were likely actresses making more than $1,000,000 (2019) before that

The only difference between the PROUD BLACK MAN that is Lex and Cleopatra is that she is not a man.

If thats the case, maybe you were actually watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Cleopatra herself was Macedonian Greek and probably had some Persian blood, but no Egyptian blood: there's no evidence the Ptolemies mixed with the native Egyptian population. They were probably light brown to white in skin tone.

I mean, it is a representation on a coin(it may not be super accurate and some aspects could be exaggerated for clarity), but apparently prominent noses were common among the Ptolemaic dynasty. And that's just a profile of her head: it doesn't give us a sense of how the rest of her looked, let alone how she moved or spoke. Though she is almost universally noted as having been really smart, witty, well-educated, and altogether charismatic. She would also have been wearing the finest clothes and make-up the ancient world had on offer.
