Treasure trove of images

[kfw]

After rewatching a portion of the Ballet Russe documentary yesterday afternoon I went searching online for photos of Nathalie Krassovaska -- once so beautiful and in that film so adorable in another way -- and found the following site with oodles of autographed photos of and signed letters by Moira Shearer, Lincoln Kirstein, Mary Ellen Moylan, Maria and Marjorie Tallchief, Bery Grey, Tanaquil LeClerq and many other dancers, musicians and actors.

I laughed to read Maria Tallchief in 1964: "As you know the casting around New York City Ballet is rather bizarre" -- a reference, I suppose, to Farrell's predominance.
