The Twilight Zone: Queen of the Nile (1964)
Season 5, Episode 23
7/10
Age is just a number?

This episode was broadcast on March 6, 1964.

According to IMDb Ann Blyth was born August 16, 1928. That would have made her 35 (and a half!) years old when this episode was shot. Not sure why they made her character "38" years old.

Also interesting is that they seemed to have "aged" Celia Lovsky. Here she was 67 years old, but in the Star Trek 'Amok Time', she was 70 but looked younger than she does here.

The problem with having seen too many horror type films, I think I saw this idea of an ancient Egyptian using the Scarab beetle as a means to transfer life force, but I cannot remember the title, or if it was before this episode or after.

The ending for this seems obvious when 'Jordy' first notices the Scarab beetle sculpture.

Btw, in reference to reviewer bkoganbing, Joan Collins guest starred on a recent (March 8th, 2019) episode of the new Hawaii 5-0. She did not look much older than when she was on Dynasty.

Maybe she has her own Scarab beetle?
