She grew up in my old Neighborhood!

I loved her. She was a REAL PERSON.

I never had the chance to see her live, but I had a lot of Opera VHS Tapes with her on them.

Bubbles was known for having a very even temperament and not subject to the shouting and screaming of many divas.

Once at La Scala, she was given a costume that did not look good on her at all. She kept sending it back, only to get it returned. One day at a rehearsal, after receiving the costume again, she ripped it in half.

The entire orchestra applauded her.
