She danced with Patrice Bart in one of the marathon ballet festivals in Chicago that Geraldine Freund staged in the 1970s, a really impressive Don Quixote; I'm glad I got to see her even one time. RIP.

Lois Weber's "Shoes" (1916) was entered into the National Film Registry recently; I knew the star of that film briefly (Mary MacLaren) at the end of her life in the 1980s - I am still looking to see "Shoes" for the first time.

I remember this broadcast, I think it was about 1986. -- yes, the following from the library: Event Recorded at New York State Theater, New York, N.Y., and telecast live by WNET as part of its series Great performances: Live from Lincoln Center, on May 24, 1986.

Just reviving a dormant thread to post a rare piece of video of Ellen Everett from her days with Ruth Page, as Micaela in Ruth Page's Carmen and Jose. She is dancing with Kenneth Johnson and the video starts in the correct place.

not ballet but of course.... https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/obituaries/ludmila-belousova-dead-champion-russian-figure-skater-with-husband-protopopov.html?ribbon-ad-idx=3&rref=world&rref=collection%2Fsectioncollection%2Fobituaries&version=highlights&contentPlacement=1&module=ArrowsNav&contentCollection=Obituaries&action=keypress&region=FixedRight&pgtype=article
