Maria

She was born in the US but into a Greek community and she moved to Athens when she was 13. I don't think she lived in the US after that and she renounced her US citizenship. She spoke Greek, Italian, French, some Spanish and English. I think her accent when speaking English is more English than American with some Greek but that's just my opinion.

I worked for Maria Callas’ solicitor near Piccadilly the late 60 s.
She used to come in a taxi and leave it running for however long it took in the narrow street where the office was. It was before my time.

I think that Maria Callas spent her early life in New York, so if that's true the American accent would be authentic.

I went to see it yesterday and really enjoyed it. Initially I wasn't bowled over by Angelina Jolie as her American accent grated on me but I got into it. The sets, costumes and scenes in Paris are wonderful and I'm pleased they included so many well known arias. Well worth two hours of my time.

i am going to look for a cinema that has it on somewhere close to me as I would like to see it. Maria callas singing Casta diva is one of my desert island discs. But dont know if it will work going to see it , dont go to the cinema much and the last time the rudeness of people , talking, not even whispering constantly eating adn rustling, was infuriating and would rather wait for it to come onto the tv or online where I can watch it in peace and quite!!
