The Virgin Queen - 1955
The Virgin Queen is a 1955 historical film starring Bettee Davis, Richard Todd & Joan Collins. It focuses on the relationship between Elizabeth I of England & Sir Walter Raleigh. This film marks the second time Davis played Queen Elizabeth, the first being in 1939; The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex. Bette Davis really captured the ideal image for this role because she went into character so well. At the time, Davis was considered the most beautiful actress in Hollywood but she didn't want this displayed in this certain film. She stood out most for her capturing eyes. Davis got so into this role that she shaved back her hair line three inches & also shaved off her eyebrows to really get the depth in the forehead that Elizabeth I had. She really went out of her way to look the part for this film, and she did it with the help of Perc Westmore.

Throughout looking through all the different productions of Elizabeth I, majority all shave the eyebrows off or cover them to make the forehead larger like Elizabeth's was. However, the eyebrows in this production give away the 70s era that it was filmed in because the eyebrows are so distinctive.
