Miliza Elizabeth Korjus [militsa] (August 18,1909 – August 26, 1980) was a Polish-born ethnic Estonian coloratura soprano opera singer, who later appeared in Hollywood films. Her birth year has been reported as uncertain, and ranges from 1900 to 1912, according to various sources but her daughter, Melissa Wells, is absolutely certain the year was 1909 and that her mother knew such. She later became a naturalized United States citizen. She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1938 for her performance in The Great Waltz.

Miliza Elizabeth Godzieba TenerelliAug 31, 2009

I have spent an entire lifetime trying to get folks to pronounce my name correctly. My mother pronounces it Ma-lit-za, is the correct pronunciation? I finally had to condense it to M. Elizabeth for business because NO ONE could pronounce. For some piece of mind as I turn 50, could someone clear up how I should pronounce it? My mother was a true fan, but I have never heard of it. PLEASE HELP!!
