  • Early Life & Education

    I met Olga when I had a summer job. It was 1978. I had gotten a job as a maid in the Country House Assisted Living in Yorktown Heights. Olga asked if I could be an assistant and come twice a week to help her in and out of the bath and tidy in her room, but also she liked to chat a bit. Some things she shared with me: She claimed she had been the 1st Jewish Opera singer in the NY Opera house. She also claimed to be aunt to Critic Gene Shalit. She told me he was a very wild child. He once rode his tricycle off the roof of his house! Unfortunately, I don't recall less extreme tales she may have told me.

  • Religious Beliefs

    Olga was Jewish.

  • Professional Career

    She told me she had sung opera professionally and further said she had been the first Jewish Opera singer in the NYC opera house. Olga, age 55, told the 1950 Federal census that she was an opera singer, living in New York City.

  • Personal Life & Family

    Olga Sidiriski married Charles Shalit on April 11th, 1917 in Manhattan, New York and they had a daughter, Joan. By the time of the 1950 Federal census, Olga was living in New York City with her husband, Charles, and her nephew Joseph Rosenblum. See more about her life at Olga Shalit: Early Life & Education.
