What a legend......Her and Ginger were very inspirational to me as a dancer. You can see all the classic ballet training in her work though. I wondered old she was when she started with her Ballet?

Here's some more....I could watch her all day...

Eleanor Powell....Anne Miller.......Not to mention.....my favorite red head Ann Margret.....and I don't think any of them wore a size zero either!
