 I met this icon of the opera world after a plane flight from NY. She was to arrive in Dallas for a fund raiser and a photographer friend and associate of mine (Buddy Myers) had been hired to take pictures of her. He invited me to tag along to meet her. So I threw on a suit, drove out to DFW airport and waited at gate with Buddy and members of the ladies group who had arranged her appearance . I even bought a bouquet of flowers for her as a welcome gesture. She was quite irritable after the flight and expressed it in NY flavored peppered language (expletives included). She took the bouquet and in return allowed me to have a couple of pictures taken with her. Buddy got about 50 more for his assignment. As we were leaving I was lucky enough to catch her as she tossed my bouquet away in a nearby trash receptacle. Did I mention she was one of the greatest opera singers of all time? Name this American Legend,
her Vocal Range
and her Famous Nickname. Good luck! |

I highly doubt it, but is she Maria Callas? o.0 I think Maria is much older.

maria's decline in vocal success is because of her drastic weight loss

It is NOT Maria Callas.
Though Maria Callas did have a famous admirer
Name him for an extra point.
