Keith Baxter(1933-2023)

Was chosen to play the role of "Octavian" in the Rouben Mamoulian production of Elizabeth Taylor's Cleópatra (1963), and some minutes of him on film still exist. Baxter was interviewed for Cleopatra: The Film That Changed Hollywood (2001). When Taylor finally recovered from pneumonia and they moved the production to Italy (they had built a fake Alexandria harbor outside of London!), Baxter had other commitments. He did, however, wind up co-starring with Elizabeth Taylor in Meu Corpo em Tuas Mãos (1973) in 1973.
