| | Mario Lanza, Italian: ['lantsa]; born Alfredo Arnold | |
| | Cocozza ; January 31, 1921 û October 7, 1959) was an | |
| | American tenor of Italian ancestry, and an actor and | |
| | Hollywood film star of the late 1940s and the 1950s. | |
| | | |
| | Lanza began studying to be a professional singer at | |
| | the age of 16. After appearing at the Hollywood Bowl | |
| | in 1947, Lanza signed a seven-year film contract | |
| | with Louis B. Mayer, the head of Metro-Goldwyn- | |
| | Mayer, who saw his performance and was impressed by | |
| | his singing. Prior to that, the adult Lanza had sung | |
| | only two performances of an opera. The following | |
| | year (1948), however, he sang the role of Pinkerton | |
| | in Puccini's Madame Butterfly in New Orleans. | |
| | | |
| | His film debut for MGM was in That Midnight Kiss | |
| | (1949) with Kathryn Grayson and Ethel Barrymore. A | |
| | year later, in The Toast of New Orleans, his | |
| | featured popular song "Be My Love" became his first | |
| | million-selling hit. In 1951, he played the role of | |
| | tenor Enrico Caruso, his idol, in the biopic The | |
| | Great Caruso, which produced another million-seller | |
| | with "The Loveliest Night of the Year" (a song which | |
| | used the melody of Sobre las Olas). The Great Caruso | |
| | was the top-grossing film that year. | |
| | | |
| | The title song of his next film, Because You're | |
| | Mine, was his final million-selling hit song. The | |
| | song went on to receive an Academy Award nomination | |
| | for Best Original Song. After recording the | |
| | soundtrack for his next film, The Student Prince, he | |
| | embarked upon a protracted battle with studio head | |
| | Dore Schary arising from artistic differences with | |
| | director Curtis Bernhardt, and was eventually | |
| | dismissed by MGM. | |
| | | |
| | Lanza was known to be "rebellious, tough, and | |
| | ambitious." During most of his film career, he | |
| | suffered from addictions to overeating and alcohol | |
| | which had a serious effect on his health and his | |
| | relationships with directors, producers and, | |
| | occasionally, other cast members. Hollywood | |
| | columnist Hedda Hopper writes that "his smile, which | |
| | was as big as his voice, was matched with the habits | |
| | of a tiger cub, impossible to housebreak." She adds | |
| | that he was the "last of the great romantic | |
| | performers". He made three more films before dying | |
| | of an apparent pulmonary embolism at the age of 38. | |
| | At the time of his death in 1959 he was still "the | |
| | most famous tenor in the world". Author Eleonora | |
| | Kimmel concludes that Lanza "blazed like a meteor | |
| | whose light lasts a brief moment in time". | |
