Mme. Hermine Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Pictured here in a small segment of Ruth Page's ballet "Camille" (aka La Traviata), filmed in 1965 for television. I am not sure who the girl is, thought it could be Jeanne Armin but would have to ask. Link to comment

sandik Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 No kidding -- there was a little bit of everything in that! Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm pretty sure this is the only appearance these characters make in the ballet, sort of as "happy peasant entertainment" for the Camille/Marguerite/Armand characters that you see briefly at the end applauding them. Link to comment
Amy Reusch Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I asked someone who danced with Jeanne... She said it "certainly looked like Jeanne" but that Jeanne joined ABT in the summer of '65, in which case the filming would have needed to be done earlier... Interestingly, the sidebar in youtube is full of hurricane videos. I would like to attribute that to the turns, but I assume there was a hurricane Camille in '65? [yes, but in 69] Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Actually Amy, that fits; the slate at the beginning of the complete film says it was taped March 25, 1965, so I guess it is her! Link to comment
Amy Reusch Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Super! It is always fascinating to see a teacher as they were in their dancing days! Link to comment
