Zorina and the harpsichordist Paul Wolfe, whom she married after the death her second husband, Goddard Lieberson, the president of CBS Records, moved in 1990 to Santa Fe, where she continued a career as an opera director for several troupes, including the Santa Fe Opera.
Zorina's success onstage and screen in the 1930's and 1940's (they were divorced in 1946), she was better known to the general public than he was in 1938, when they went to Hollywood to work for Sam Goldwyn.
The dancer known as VeraZorina was born Eva Brigitta Hartwig.
However, as she states in her autobiography, “VeraZorina was born, aged seventeen, at Covent Garden, during a heated discussion with Colonel de Basil, general director of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo.”1 Before her debut, de Basil ordered Zorina to choose a Russian name.
Zorina performed in the film’s “water-nymph” ballet, where she emerged from a pool, clad in a gold lamé tunic, and danced on a glass surface.
