I love Maria Callas for her glamour and the fact that she was famous for being an opera singer - beyond Renee Fleming and Josh Grobin, there aren't many of her kind in the 21st Century. I'm also intrigued by her personal drama (did you know she was in a love triangle with Jackie O. and Aristotle? It ended badly for Maria.).
The opulent florals in this 1956 portrait of her by Henry Koerner belie her New York birthplace and speak more to her European upbringing and lifestyle.
Hot mod dress - oh yes, and that's Grace Kelly.
Even her car is awesome. Philippe Starck likes it, too.
