The Virgin Queen is a film released in 1955 starring Joan Collins and Bette Davis. Bette Davis portrays Queen Elizabeth I and went to an extreme for the role and had her hairline shaved back 3 inches and her eyebrows shaved off as well. She really wanted to fool the audience into thinking she wasn't one of the most gorgeous actress's in Hollywood but in fact the real Queen Elizabeth I. This was helped by Make up artists Perc Westmore, Ben Nye and Hair styling by Helen Turpin.
