Beverly Sills (May 25, 1929 – July 2, 2007), fondly known as "Bubbles" to her many fans, was perhaps the best-known American opera singer in the 1960s and 1970s. She was famous for her performances in coloratura soprano roles in operas around the world and on recordings. After retiring from singing in 1980, she became the general manager of the New York City Opera. In 1994, she became the Chairman of Lincoln Center and then, in 2002, of the Metropolitan Opera, stepping down in 2005. <a href="htt

Quotes

• “A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares but doesn't let them get her down.”
• “There is a growing strength in women but it's in the forehead, not the forearm. Men will always be attracted to women with nice soft arms and a fleshy bosom.”
• “Why should I go when it's going so good? … I lived through the garbage. I might as well dine on the caviar.”
• “So long as it doesn't get to the point where you don't remember whose opera you're listening to, I'm willing to experiment.”
• “I've always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up. I'm not about to change now.”
• “My voice had a long, nonstop career. It deserves to be put to bed with quiet and dignity, not yanked out every once in a while to see if it can still do what it used to do. It can't.”
