A girl with a rubber range, Marni is a redheaded, blue-eyed lyric soprano...
Died. Michael Delia Rocca, 62, the Long Island shoemaker who answered The $64,000 Question on CBS-TV in 1956 (a 14-part question involving Wagner premières, Caruso's teachers and a 1908 performance of Aïda), was never involved in subsequent scandals, spent much of his prize bankrolling his hobby, amateur opera performances; of cancer; in Baldwin...
