Miliza Korjus - One day when we were young (Strauss Waltz)

Miliza Elizabeth Korjus (18 August 1909 - 26 August 1980) was a coloratura soprano opera singer, who later appeared in Hollywood films. Korjus persued her concert career as a soprano in Germany and was eventually engaged by the Berlin State Opera in 1933. Her operatic appearances and recordings quickly propelled her to the forefront of European singers and earned her the nickname "The Berlin Nightingale". Film producer Irving Thalberg heard her recordings and signed her to a ten year film contract, sight unseen. Her first Hollywood film was The Great Waltz (1938), She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the role.
