victims of the Jewish Holocaust. She gained international fame posthumously
following the publication of her diary, which documents her experiences hiding

for the quality of her writing, her diary has become one of the world’s most widely
read books, and has been the basis for several plays and films. Anne died of
typhus in a concentration camp in early March of 1945. She was only 15.

“Cleopatra” premiered at the Rivoli Theater in New York city and despite being a
critical failure, it won four Academy Awards and was nominated for five more. It was
the highest grossing film of 1963, earning a total of $57.7 million, yet made a loss 
due to its cost of $44 million, the only film ever to be the highest grossing film  
of the year yet to run at a loss.
