Several people have encour-
aged her to write a biography or
have her story told in a documen-
tary film, but Mas doesn’t believe
her story on its own would be
enough.
“I always though if you’re not fa-
mous, it’s sort of presumptuous to
write an autobiography or make
a movie about yourself,” said Mas
from her home in Arizona.
Looking back at her life, it’s defi-
nitely a story worth telling and one
that might be able to help others
as well.
Mas grew up on Long Island and
studied opera for many years. She
attended The American Musical
and Dramatic Academy at 16 and
became the youngest member of
The Light Opera of Manhattan at
17. After being accepted at Juil-
liard School of Music, her plans
changed when she played a folk
festival in Hazleton, Pennsylvania
and never looked back.
