I may just have lost one fingernail's worth of gay. I can't explain it. It was just here.
It makes even less sense in the case of Collins than in the case of Simmons. None of the rest of the principal cast of Land of the Pharaohs is in brownface, even though they are almost all white British and American actors playing ancient Egyptians—Jack Hawkins just looks like himself in a pile of Fourth Dynasty jewelry. Characters explicitly identified as captives from Kush look like Khufu turned left at Rhakotis and accidentally raided Northern Europe instead. And then there's Collins hailing from Cyprus in that particular unfortunate dusky panstick against which her tangerine lipstick stands out like a catastrophe in the color timing and I don't know what to tell you.
