Tina Onassis won an Alabama divorce in 1960 on the ground of mental cruelty, and later married the jet-set Marquess of Blandford. The split resulted from Onassis' liaison with Diva Maria Callas, now 44, a decade-long affair that ended only five months ago at Ari's initiative. During their often fiery involvement, La Callas sometimes occupied a suite in Monte Carlo's L'Hermitage hotel, near Onassis' apartment and offices; a tunnel connected the two.

...share the stage with some other people, among them Maria Karnilova. This is the first time in Miss Karnilova's career (which includes performances varied as a stripper in Gypsy and Tevye's wife in Fiddler on the Roof) that we see enough of her to leave the theatre satisfied. As Hortense, the French lady on the hill who lets Zorba share her bed, she becomes a vision of lonely fortitude in the face of life's injustice. In one scene, during a song that tells of the "pretty admirals" who kept company with her in the distant past...
