Elizabeth Taylor was the first female lead to make a million bucks for a single film. What movie was it?

Answer Cleopatra

Filming for more than two years, Elizabeth Taylor's million-dollar role as Cleopatra was well-earned. Taking home the record-breaking salary for the 1963 film, Taylor was only a year behind Marlon Brando, who was the first man to earn a million for one film (Mutiny on the Bounty).
