Biography

Au théâtre, Claudia Dell se produit trois fois à Broadway, dans les revues Gay Paree of 1925 (1925-1926) et Ziegfeld Follies of 1927 (musique d'Irving Berlin, 1927-1928, avec Eddie Cantor et Claire Luce), et enfin dans la comédie musicale Rosalie (musique de George Gershwin et Sigmund Romberg, 1928, avec Marilyn Miller et Frank Morgan).

Puis elle contribue au cinéma à quarante-deux films américains (ou en coproduction) sortis à partir de 1929, dont des westerns de série B, tel Destry Rides Again de Benjamin Stoloff en 1932, avec Tom Mix et Zasu Pitts.

Mentionnons également Sweet Kitty Bellairs d'Alfred E. Green (1930, avec Walter Pidgeon et Ernest Torrence), Fifty Million Frenchmen de Lloyd Bacon (1931, avec Ole Olsen et Chic Johnson), Cléopâtre de Cecil B. DeMille (1934, avec Claudette Colbert et Warren William), ainsi que Casbah de John Cromwell (1938, avec Charles Boyer et Hedy Lamarr).

Son dernier film — de la série cinématographique consacrée à Charlie Chan — est Black Magic de Phil Rosen (avec Sidney Toler et Mantan Moreland), sorti en 1944, après quoi elle se retire définitivement de l'écran (hormis de rares apparitions à la télévision ultérieurement, dans une série en 1952 et quelques émissions).

In 48 BC, Cleopatra vies with her brother Ptolemy for control of Egypt. Pothinos (Leonard Mudie) kidnaps her and Apollodorus (Irving Pichel) and strands them in the desert. When Pothinos informs Julius Caesar that the queen has fled the country, Caesar is ready to sign an agreement with Ptolemy when Apollodorus appears, bearing a gift carpet for the Roman. When Apollodorus unrolls it, Cleopatra emerges much to Pothinos' surprise- he tries to deny who she is. However Caesar sees through the deception and Cleopatra soon beguiles Caesar with the prospect of the riches of not only Egypt, but also India. Later, when they are seemingly alone, she spots a sandal peeking out from underneath a curtain and thrusts a spear into the hidden Pothinos, foiling his assassination attempt. Caesar makes Cleopatra the sole ruler of Egypt, and begins an affair with her.
