The designer's over-the-top baroque sets, costumes, interiors and jewelry made him a Hollywood favorite for

more than five decades. Exotic opulence was the signature of the Duquette style and he counted among his

clients  Vincente Minnelli, Doris Duke, Mary Pickford, J. Paul Getty, David O. Selznick and the Duchess of

Windsor.  He received a Tony award for his costumes for the original Broadway production of "Camelot" in

1961.

1922-2008

After signing with Capitol Records in 1950, the raven-haired Peruvian singer, known as the "Nightingle of the

Andes," the "Peruvian Songbird" and a "singing marvel" with a 4 1/2-octave voice, topped the charts with her

first album, "Voice of the Xtabay."  Purportedly an Incan princess, the government of Peru in 1946 formally

supported her claim to be descended from Atahualp, the last Incan emperor.  She gave recitals at the

Hollywood Bowl, Carnegie Hall and Royal Albert Hall, and was featured in the 1951 Broadway musical

"Flahooley."   She appeared in the films "Secret of the Incas" (1954) with Charleton Heston, and "Omar

Khayyam"  (1957). 

This photograph, in which she dons a Mr. John fez with wimple, was taken during a 1984 session to publicize

her engagement at the Cinegrill in Hollywood. It was also used on the cover of her single, "Mambo

Confusion."
