Maria Callas, 53, Is Dead of Heart Attack in Paris. By RAYMOND ERICSON. Maria Callas, the soprano whose intensely dramatic portrayals made her the most exciting opera singer of her time, died of a heart attack yesterday at her home in Paris. She was 53 years old.
According to what ex-Doors member Ray Manzarek once said âPamela is Jimâs other halfâ, â Those two were a perfect match, Iâd never met anyone who complemented his eccentricity so wellâ.
