Dale Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Here's the Dance Magazine obituary, http://dancemagazine...Morris-19462011 That's a very lovely tribute. Thank you. Somebody earlier in this thread mentioned that she was in a video of Rubies in the tall girl part. It was on a Villella documentary but not Man Who Dances. This had more dancing clips. Patricia McBride performances in Rubies and Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux and Villella does the solo from Apollo. I saw it at the Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center. Link to comment

Carlos Bas Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Was Marnee Morris ever married? Link to comment
rg Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) if memory serves, I believe that Morris was married at one point to a musicIan connected to TeIji Ito, who composed the score for Jerome Robbins's WATERMILL, or perhaps i'm just recalling that Morris once played with ensemble when WATERMILL was performed at the NYSTheater, or perhaps i'm miles off... since writing the above the following information has come in from a one-time colleague of Marnee Morris's: <<Marnee was married twice. First to fellow NYCB dancer Roger Peterson and then later to Teiji, and had a baby with him.>> no dates were given. Edited July 21, 2019 by rg Link to comment
