Legendary “Queen of Exotica” Yma Sumac has died at the age of 86. Among many credits in a career spanning more than half a century was a screen appearance as (obviously) a Peruvian priestess in the 1954 film Secret of the Incas.

Here is a glimpse of La Sumac in a less familiar guise, that of operetta diva Heidi Schiller in a 1990 production of Stephen Sondheim‘s Follies.
