The Lady Beside the Legend Passes
Elfi Arkus-Duntov passed away last night (October 23) at St. John’s Hospital in Detroit. She had been hospitalized there for several weeks with a severe leg infection.
The former dancer from the Folies Bergere in Paris was 93 going on 19. Together, she and Zora personified the performance and allure of the early Corvettes. Even well into their years, the pair had an energy and spark that infected everyone around them. Now they can be together again.
Funeral arrangements are pending and additional information will be made available via NCM eNews. Elfi will be cremated and her ashes will be joined with Zora's as part of the current tribute inside the Museum.
