This was a big costume party being held at the Waldorf Astoria in January, 1957. Callas appeared as an ancient Egyptian queen. Maxwell appeared as Catharine the Great. Yes, Maxwell was a lesbian, and Callas knew it. She confided to her closest friends that she was afraid to be left in the same room with her. A year later, Callas told Maxwell that she didn't swing "that way. Maxwell was saddened, but she never hit on Callas again. In fact, they ended their association shortly thereafter.

@Zva26 Actually, from the look of the costume, I think poor Elsa Maxwell fancies herself as Elizabeth I. With Callas looking a zillion dollars Maxwell might have been wiser to sit it out.
