Tales Of Hollywood And The Bible

excerpt:

De Mille's final film the remake of his own The Ten Commandments (1956) took it's toll on both cast and crew. The 220 minute epic involved logistical nightmares from changing Anne Baxter's character from Nefertiti to Nefertiri (De Mille fretted the original name would lead to breast jokes) to attempting to have Charlton Heston as Moses carry actual stone tablets carved out of the real Mount Sinai.

That it's the same character is the only explanation that makes any sense. Thank you. The link provided spells it yet another way.

I think many of these old names have had a few translations and spellings. After all, she never wrote her name in English.

LMAO! De Mille obviously missed that one of her outfits is partly see through.
