Here's an article discussing it.
https://www.imperiumromanum.edu.pl/en/curiosities/reconstruction-of-image-of-cleopatra-vii//amp/
On second thought, that's a terrible article!
I did a bit of very brief research, and learned that while surviving contemporary depictions of Cleopatra do not show a beauty by today's standards, those pictures may have been intentionally "masculinized" in order to bestow more authority on her image to the masses.
I've often read that Cleopatra was not all that physically attractive, and that her allure rested more in her guile, personality, and the power she wielded.
This has been a topic in one of "Egypt's Unexplained Files" episodes. It's a combination of all the images plus the remains of her murdered sister.
Arsinoe IV was Cleopatra’s younger half-sister or sister.
There is an intense search for Cleopatra's remains / mummy which if discovered will rival King Tut.
The mummy of Nefertiti was verified and this is her reconstruction.

Shame remakes are made just to get the young generations interested in it (if possible)
The 1976 film (which is great) isn't good enough.

Almost 30 years after she appeared in "King Kong," Fay Wray appeared as herself in an April 1961 episode of "The Real McCoys." The CBS sitcom starred the three-time Academy Award winner Walter Brennan as Amos McCoy.
Anyone noticing the expression on her face?

Before closing my local theatre showed local ads (ITP - Interstate Theatre Promotions), a cartoon - mostly Woody Woodpecker or the 3 Stooges.
Showed "Gone with The Wind" in 1985.
