1:55 - 2:15 - I have a have a soft spot for her soaring vocals and impeccable acting. I mean, I could say that about everything she ever did, but for some reason, this segment captured my attention, and it’s simplicity, but directness.

For the record her eyeshadow was not this godawful almost cerulean blue. It was bateau brown by Alexandra de Markoff her go to color for warm tone evening gowns and her lipstick was Fith Avenue Red by Revlon. 💀 Why would someone colorize this and make it look like her makeup was done by Bubbles the Clown direct from Barnam and Bailey’s… it looks ridiculous.

1 - Enquanto muito pouco se é lembrado de Aristóteles Onassis, Maria Callas é histórica, atemporal e eterna. Apesar da sua beleza e talento, tal qual Apolo não obteve sorte no amor. Mais sempre será amada por todos os seus admiradores e apaixonados pelo belo canto. Cem anos de Maria Callas, bella donna e magna soprano. Aonde estiver, receba as nossas vibrações de agradecimento, admiração e paz. Axé

¡Artista insuperable! Con ella se cumple la ley que dice que el arte casi siempre no lleva parejo el mismo grado de virtuosismo en la conducta personal! María Callas, le puso los cuernos a su marido legítimo y mecenas, con Onassis, del cual incluso estuvo embarazada, y esto lo hizo, estando casada;Al final, la vida te devuelve lo que te corresponde y su amante la engaño con otra y la dejó tirada con un trauma del que ya no se recuperó jamás, muriendo sola y triste en su piso de París.

Where would we be able to watch the fully restored footage? Personally, I think the colorisation looks a bit over-done.

@mairwyncurtis2102 7 ай бұрын

I agree with you. Not to say she didn't have blue eyeshadow but it's a bit over the top. The whites of the eyes look over done too tbh. Skin tone as well but I can appreciate the work that went into it.
