Still very active but 97, might want to pick her somewhere in case the Telegraph person with an opera obsession Ulitzer mentioned a while ago knows about her. Finnish opera singer Hilkka Kinnunen not dead, interviewed for a local tv show recently. Interesting personality. Says that "art has been her life" and that if she hadn't become an actress she'd have killed herself. Her house is full of art from different parts of the world, different eras. Following her career she's lived in Florida and Helsinki, here she shows letters she's received from household names (Obama, Trump, Soros, RFK, DiCaprio and others) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
