    Despite being abandoned by her father, having a nasty, evil mother, a jealous sister, a greedy husband, and betrayal by the man she really loved, Maria Callas rose above it all to be a beautiful, classy, intelligent lady with the best female voice of the 20th century. Unprecedented, unparalleled, unequaled and never to be repeated. RIP Ultimate Diva.

      Her beauty and style is similar to my mom's 😢. Both women also had a lot of toxic people in their lives and unfortunately passed away too soon. My mom was born in 1979 a few years after maria's death and died last year at just 44.

    'There is high price for integrity and honesty. But I can pay that price." I love you so much more (if possible) hearing your words. You lived according to your values and that is something no woman should ever forget. Rest in peace, adored Maria Callas ♥️♥️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️

      Yes exactly. Not many people understand this. Everyone seems so fixated on her perceived mistakes like what is wrong with people? Are they with no mistakes? And I guess it is easy to make no mistakes when you choose a boring life with zero dangers to have to resist to. She did fantastic- career and life. Her choices were her choices. I feel she was a person with great spiritual lessons she went through openly while most people do it all behind closed doors to not risk being judged. She just lived what she felt was right each moment. And this is integrity. Not many can say the same for themselves.

      eduardo torres betancourt Sorry if you never saw her performing, she was the first opera singer who could sing and act at the same time , a very difficult thing to do , also she never developed into a large singer who may have had a better voice but were large women, I saw her at Covent Garden and because she was slim , beautiful and talented she was a joy to listen to and a joy to behold. Rudolf Nuryev was in the same category with his beauty , strength, grace and stamina. They don't seem to make them like that anymore sadly .

    I think that Maria Callas was gracious, dignified and classy in this interview. If she didn't want to answer any of the questions from Barbara Walters, then she could have politely declined. But she did answer the questions in a calm and gracious manner. She didn't seem to have anything to hide, no resentment or anger or bitterness over Onassis and Jackie.
    Maria Callas was my mother's favorite opera singer of all time. I grew up listening to her magnificent voice. I think she was quite poised in this interview and good for her!

      She answered because SHE wanted to talk about it. She had nothing to hide. She was a fantastic human being. What did she see in Onassis ? an ugly cheater ? he treated his kids like crap while drowning them with gifts.....He thought money would fix everything. When his son died in that plane crash, I expect the guilt destroyed him. He had a lot to regret in terms of how he had been a lousy father. Christina OD'ed.....not so cool, either.

      Jacqueline Onassis:

      Jacqueline spoke Italian, French and Spanish! She used her language skills when traveling as a First Lady and private citizen! She was an intellectual woman!
      Another thing was Jacqueline was a fan of the " good" life!Jacqueline had awesome jewelry, stunning homes and sent her kids to legendary schools!
      Jacqueline was stylish and so rare! The working class in the US knew very little about persons of her status (her step-dad was a millionaire) and this is what fascinated people about her!

    Beauty, talent and class. One of the two on the video showed grace and dignity and the other dug for cattiness and found none. One of the most brave feelings Ms. Callas shared was that she desired to be a good wife to a good man. Although her answer may seem dated now, it was well on its way to dated then. She answered honestly, and though it isn't every woman's heart's desire to be a good wife, it was her desire, and it took courage to say it. She wasn't speaking for every woman, she was speaking for herself.

      Callas had been fat and lost a lot of weight ; also got a nose job. At the end, she was beautiful but her voice was failing. Opera singers die young as their hearts get really stressed....no matter how well you are trained, it is hard to sing that way. Not really natural. Her voice was the best, at its peak. It was magical. No one can sing that well.

    What a lot of rot Ari Onassis he gave Maria Callas a terrible time and couldn't be faithful to her anymore than to his first wife. That he wouldn't attend her performances is strange his support and public appreciation surely meant a lot to her. Jackie Onassis. thought she had found a safe haven for herself and her two children after the deaths of Jack and Robert Kennedy in America Onassis had cultivated friendship with the Kennedy's long before. Jackie wanted to get away from America he offered her a safe haven . He married her because he liked to collect the best. I think he was incapable of loving any woman but he did love his son. The loss of his son in a plane crash sent him into depression and a downhill decline in his health then he died.

    This is so heartbreaking to watch. She bravely tries to act as though she's fine with Onassis' marriage to Jackie Kennedy and had no hopes for marriage to him, but every biography of Callas I've read relates how utterly betrayed she felt and how she longed to be Mrs. Onassis. She lost her will to live after he died. What greater testimony of love can there be? She was a great lady, who deserved better than him. But it was part of her dark genius to be attracted to dark men.

    The interview (which she freely agreed to ) reveals an important aspect of her personality; the self-destructive part. She states it is more a woman's job to have a man of her own than to sing. That is not a particularly wise belief to hold when you're maria callas. She chose in Menegheni a man who helped develop her career and in Onassis one for whom she'd neglect it. Fascinating personality and artist.

To have told Barbara to "go to hell" or to leave the interview would be reactionary & as tacky as Walters herself. So sticking to her guns and telling Babs she felt no remorse or jealousy (even if the truth lie elsewhere) she is the bigger person of all people involved in the issue.

I like Jackie, but Onassis was something of a cad for breaking Maria's heart like that. Then again, all we know is gossip. But it seems pretty true. Jackie was the prize for Onassis.

    If only she could have fallen madly in love with a wonderful man who returned her feelings - didn't she leave a husband who adored her for the Greek billionaire? Onassis was such a hard, selfish so-and-so, he was always going to break her heart. He met his match in Jackie Kennedy, she was as ruthless as him I suspect. It may not have been a love match but it was a match - she wanted his money, he wanted her status, as the most famous and eligible widow in the world! On that basis the marriage should have worked. But of course no marriage works without love. I am staggered at how beautiful and charismatic Maria Callas was here. That her life was short and ultimately unfulfilled is very sad.

Her public display of despair over Onassis was already well in hand before Jackie even came on the scene. Years and years of that dark attraction.

    Onassis was the most creeping and ugly thing a man can be in life. Apart from how he treated his first wife and his employees, his bad manners and his greed and obsession of being able to get close to the real powerful people to make contracts. A climbing man. Apart from that, he had two of the most beautiful and admired women in the world and treated them both like trash. What she did to Maria is unforgivable and she acted with hellenic dignity, and in Jackie's case, she might want to be with Onassis to continue to live the wealthy and easy life she always led (because she had that kind of life since her youth) but allow a paparazzi to go to his island of Skorpios to take nude photos of his wife and then sell them to force a divorce is the dirtiest and most humiliating thing that can be done to a woman. Neither of them deserved that cretin.

    Barbara Walters is the epitome of everything ugly and nasty about "reporters" although I have a lot better names to call them than that. No matter who they interview they are fake and phony and care ONLY about the salacious and scandalous. That is why they ask the questions they ask and they do not care if they embarrass, humiliate or degrade the person they are interviewing. That is irrelevant to them.
    I have really come to detest the media in general. Not just "tabloid media" but even what we call "mainstream media". They are all the same. Out for blood. One of the worst is Diane Sawyer. If you don't believe me, go watch her interview with Lisa Marie Presley when she made some really disgusting comments about Michael Jackson. Whether you are a fan of his or not, you will be horrified at her questions. Then there is a video on UA-cam of her getting made up for going live and somebody video taped her (unbeknownst to her I am sure) making disgusting comments about Whitney Houston (she had just interviewed her). It really is enough to make you despise the entire MEDIA MACHINE.
    Meanwhile, Barbara Walters interviewed Michael right after he had his first child and asked the same kind of bullshit questions and he, like Maria Callas, was too decent and refined to just get up and walk off the set. I am white by the way, in case you think I am playing the race card.
    It is up to us, the public, to protest the way the media "conducts business" in today's world. Stop buying those trashy magazines and stop watching them on television. They epitomize that expression "sell your soul to the devil" because they truly do not care who they hurt or whose reputation they damage. They honestly don't care or maybe it's the producers of these shows who don't care. Whatever - they are the ultimate BULLIES of our society.
