Reportedly bankrolled by her great and good friend, Maritime Moneybags Aristotle Onassis, Maria is planning to make a film version of one of her most successful operatic roles, Cherubini's Medea. Setting: Milan's La Scala, not far from the courtroom where Maria's estranged husband, Industrialist Giovanni Battista Meneghini, avowedly plans to enliven an upcoming legal separation trial with an angry aria on La Callas' "wanton search of happiness that she should...
