Marion Nevada Talley (December 20, 1906 – January 3, 1983)[1] was an American operatic lyric coloratura soprano. She was at the time (1926) the youngest prima donna to have made a debut at the Metropolitan Opera; her swift rise to fame was followed by a period of decline, although she remained in the public eye for a number of years.
