Subject Note: This portrait shows Ruby Elzy in character for Porgy and Bess—a role she originated and performed over 800 times. A Juilliard-trained soprano with a voice that filled both stage and screen, Elzy broke barriers in a segregated opera world and was on the cusp of a Metropolitan Opera debut when her life was cut short at at the young age of 35.
