rg Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 UPI wire photo, much handled it would seem, of Makarova's wedding to Edward Karkar, with Mikhail Baryshnikov as part of the ceremony. (see caption) Aleksandr Minz? can be seen just behind Baryshnikov Link to comment
carbro Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 This is wonderful! Thank you, rg! I don't know whether this photo was much handled, but it looks to me like whoever developed the film and printed it did a sloppy job with the chemicals. Too bad. Link to comment
rg Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 this type wirephoto is of its time, it's something/somehow between a fax and a photocopy - that is, not a properly, or even improperly developed photo - i suppose an actual photographic print is fed into some 'transmission' machine and this sort of copy comes out at the other end. something tells me if anyone here would know more, it would be Mel.

Amy Reusch Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Wow! Just wow! What are the flowers the groom seems to be holding? Link to comment
Quiggin Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 What are the flowers the groom seems to be holding? Possibly stefana woven with lemon flowers. Link to comment
rg Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 to me, and i'm not botanist, i'd guess the flowers in the bouquet being held on the right, the groom's boutonniere, and those decorating the candle he's holding are lilies-of-the-valley? the leaves look right for that flower to me.

bart Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I've never seen a photo of Makarova -- dancing or not -- in which she looks so fragile, vulnerable Link to comment
Stage Right Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've never seen a photo of Makarova -- dancing or not -- in which she looks so fragile, vulnerable I agree, Bart--I hardly recognize her, although she looks beautiful. Link to comment
canbelto Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Am I mistaken or weren't Baryshnikov and Makarova briefly married while both of them were at the Kirov? Link to comment
rg Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 i suspect your recall is confusing these individuals as a married couple with other Soviet Russians of this era. i can think of no reliable source suggesting a marriage between Makarova and Baryshnikov. Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 M.B. has never been married, has he? Link to comment
California Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 M.B. has never been married, has he? When he was trying to sell that estate on the Hudson in recent years, Lisa Rinehart did an on-line video tour of the place and publications like the Wall Street Journal referred to her as his wife from "about four years ago". I assumed their agent thought it would be a little much for him to do the tour, so she did it. http://live.wsj.com/...E4-B2AFAC2C675C But he certainly gave plenty of quotes over the years to interviewers that he did not believe in marriage, so that was a surprise. With three kids and well into his 60s, perhaps his attorney suggested that he needed to think ahead about such things. I don't think I could track down a source, but I thought Makarova was briefly married in Russia to someone else and she broke it off with Baryshnikov partly because of that and because she was eight years older. Note in that interview about her San Francisco marriage that she considered it her first marriage. Link to comment
leonid17 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I have read in the past that Natalya Makarova was married first to a dancer, second husband was a film firector before she married Mr.Karkar. ADDED On reflection I think the source may have got confused with the film director Bondarchuk who married Inna Makarova. Link to comment
pbl Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 So Makarova and Baryshnikov were in a relationship at one time? Link to comment
