...Italian stars. The shapely daughter of a Genoa streetcar conductor, she joined La Scala three years ago, displayed a talent for the soubrette roles of Rossini and Donizetti and has moved some critics to predict that she will surpass Callas both as actress and singer. Her diction is flawless, her voice cool and clear as crystal. Her artistic ideal is Callas, but she has a reservation: "I still have a heart, Callas...
