15 insane details you missed in the ten commandments (1956)
Most people have seen The Ten Commandments (1956). Almost nobody knows the real story behind it.
In this video, we reveal 15 jaw dropping behind the scenes facts about Cecil B. DeMille's legendary biblical epic the kind of secrets that never made it into any making-of documentary. A baby cast for the role of Moses before he was even born. A 75 year old director who suffered a heart attack on set and came back two days later. A plague sequence so accidentally hilarious it had to be cut from the film forever. And the truth about how the parting of the Red Sea was actually filmed upside down, in reverse, on a back lot in Hollywood. We go behind the cameras on the stories of Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Vincent Price, Audrey Hepburn, and the thousands of cast and crew who spent months in the Egyptian desert bringing
this classic Hollywood epic to life.

I found her both as a teen and later grown man was totally embraced by her beauty. Her mouth, nose and a voice that seem to cut like a knife. Whoever had married that woman hit the Jackpot!
From All About Eve to The 10 Commandments, this lady set the bar.
