Caruso children

[Jeffrey Meyer]

Does anyone know what became of Caruso's children? I know he had a
daughter, Gloria with Dorothy, and two sons through a liaison with another
woman earlier on.
Are any of them still alive, did any inherit their father's glorious tone?

Gloria Caruso Murray AFAIK is still living in Florida. She had two
sons and has three grandchildren.

Enrico Jr. made a few records, but his singing was mostly a
curiousity.

Mike Richter's has a recording of him on one of his CDs. From it, you
can get an occasional glimpse of his father's voice.

See the book, Enrico Caruso, My Father and My Family, by Enrico Jr. and
Andrew Farkas.

I'm not sure Dorothy is still alive, but she had two sons of her own. I
don't know what their last names were, but they should be alive. She
lived in the New York area.

There's a biography out of Caruso by Andrew Farkas that covers just that
territory. His son, Enrico Caruso Jr. had a short lived film Career, singing
in Spanish musical films made by MGM! He apparantly was not all that hot.
Dorothy Caruso did her best to freeze both sons out of Caruso's will, but they
finally got a settlement, and lost most of their money and land during the 2nd
World War. Enrico Caruso Jr. lived well into old age. It's an enormous
book... I think 700 pages plus, but it's a goldmine of information.

Agh - apologies, I didn't mean Dorothy (Caruso's wife), I meant Gloria
(his daughter) -- SHE has two sons.
