Maria Trailer

Angelina Jolie stars as opera singer Maria Callas in the Netflix film Maria, which follows her life story, focusing on her final days in 1970s Paris. Born in New York City in 1923 to Greek immigrant parents, Maria moved to Greece with her mother when she was a teenager. It was there that she received her musical training. She suffered from severe near-sightedness and was nearly blind on stage. During her time as a soprano, she faced scandal and personal struggles. Maria was known for her temperamental behavior, her alleged rivalry with Italian soprano Renata Tebaldi, and her affair with Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, who eventually left Maria for Jackie Kennedy.
