Giannina Posted March 10, 2004 Share Posted March 10, 2004 Speaking of blond dancers...he wasn't. Thanks for the great photo, rg. Giannina Link to comment
dirac Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 The eyebrows give him away, Giannina. It would be presumptuous of me to make requests, but as a contrast to the wonderful picture above, it would certainly be nice for everyone to see that Jack Mitchell shot of Kriza as Billy the Kid. He's wearing chaps but no shirt, with hands on his hips and -- what can I say, we're talking Stud Muffin City. Even by ballet standards, he was a major cutie. I'm sure his dancing was splendid, too, of course. Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 I only caught him at the very end of his dancing days, recreating the Preacher in "Fall River Legend" to Sallie Wilson's Accused. Now, THERE was charisma! Link to comment
Estelle Posted March 11, 2004 Share Posted March 11, 2004 Err, what does "stud muffin" mean? Link to comment
Estelle Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Thanks for the explanation, Hans! Well, he doesn't look especially macho on that photograph, but surely good-looking! Link to comment
Marga Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 ... it would certainly be nice for everyone to see that Jack Mitchell shot of Kriza as Billy the Kid. He's wearing chaps but no shirt, with hands on his hips -- what can I say, we're talking Stud Muffin City. I was just reading an old Dance Magazine today that has that pic on the cover! John Kriza was my favourite dancer at ABT when I was a child. He certainly made my heart throb! He was my age (56) when he died in a swimming accident in 1975. Link to comment
Marga Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Would you believe there's a reproduction of that George Platt Lynes photo of John Kriza (see above) up for bids on ebay right now? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...1&category=2211 Link to comment
