Risë Stevens (1913-2013)

She was gorgeous enough to be a movie star.  She sings Schubert's "Ave Maria" with Bing Crosby in Going My Way.  Clearly it's her key.


She was one of the all time great Carmens.




She wrote that when filming for the movies, she would sing on set an octave down.

What the heck.  Here's another from the period just before she retired.




It is good to remember she was very sexy both in and out of drag.
