The dark, delicate and demure beauty of an Anna Maria Alberghetti is what one envisions a princess to look like and, indeed, she did have a chance to play a couple in her lifetime. Reminding one instantly of the equally enchanting 'Pier Angeli' .
Both her parents were professional musicians. Her father was a cellist and her mother was an accompanist.
Her unusual (and lyrical sounding) name was the subject of a good-natured joke in an episode of "Mary Tyler Moore" . Ted Baxter was challenged to think up an original joke. He came up with a knock-knock joke: Knock Knock. Whos there? Anna Maria Alberghetti Anna Maria Alberghetti who? (singing) Anna Maria Alberghetti in a taxi honey...
Was at one point set to play a supporting role in the Elvis Presley film G.I. Blues .
Sister of Carla Alberghetti.
I cannot remember a time when music was not part of my life.
