Private
World

Father

Anna Maria, who stars in "Carnival," cuddies one of the puppets in show.
This petite singing star affectionately recalls the special bond
which music created between her and her late father
By ANNA MARIA ALBERGHETTI as told to Marya Saunders and Bob Gaines
((-runs Has cot to work. If we fail now,
X I'll never go on the stage again."
I said these words shortly after my -father's
death in 1957 as my sister Carla and
I were about to appear in a night club in
Las Vegas. I was frightened.
For more than 20 years, my father had
been the center of my life. He had made
every decision for me, and now suddenly I
felt alone and terrified.
Two days before our opening, I was so
' nervous that Carla suggested we climb into
the car and go for a drive to relax. We sped
across the desert for an hour while I talked.
Finally, Carla turned and said, "You're
good. Father saw to that. But you can
be twice as good if you stop wasting en
ergy worrying. Why don't you put that
energy into analyzing what you have and
then make the most of it?"
After a long moment I said, "You know,
that's the sort of advice Father would have
given me."
As far back as I can remember, my
father, his advice, his teaching, his love,
were the walls of my life, and within these
walls we had our own private world. The
others in my family were dear to me and I
loved them, but my relationship with Father
was special.
The first memory I have, for example, is
sitting at the piano with him in our home on
the island of Rhodes when I was three years
old. We were singing together, and Father
was trying to discover if I had any kind of
voice at all. (Continued on page 13)
