      Book Overview

      Years after her death Maria Callas remains one of the most renowned and compelling of all divas. Although much has been written about Callas the prima donna, the consummate stage magician, and the tragic lover of Aristotle Onassis, this is the first account of Maria the woman by someone who was close to her. Stancioff, a longtime friend, shares memories of the Maria who gave impromptu concerts of Beatles hits and Mexican ballads; of the Maria who starved herself to conform to the image of a celebrity but would go into rhapsodies about a plate of pasta. And to her own warm reminiscences, Stancioff adds the insights of Maria's friends, colleagues, and family. The figure that emerges is intriguing, infuriating, mystifying -- and endlessly fascinating.

It seemed that she understood her more than anyone and that alone is quite a feat. Callas...

      Brava!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Most people who write a biography of someone, especially a friend or relative, have a vested interest in either making the person sound like a saint or a sinner.The author of this amazing book, however, portrayed her good friend, Maria Callas, in what can only be best described as a very objective manner.One comes away from this book with a very real sense of the person who was Maria Calles, not particularly in the legend...
