  1. Just saw a documentary on arte this morning about Callas. Seems a tragic story ultimately. Onassis was less than honorable in his behaviour.

  2. Not Maria Callas. The woman with the Royal HH typewriter is Alice Denham, playmate and author: http://www.playmates.com/photo/9-sexy-photos-alice-denham/slide-4

  3. Now that makes sense. I can't imagine that
    Callas smoked.

    1. Whoops. Wrong. She did smoke. I should have checked first. But I still think Oscar's right.
