  • Margot was definitely unique. One of a kind. She didn't have the fine build and features of an ideal born-to-be ballerina. A small body without those long, willowy limbs. Not natural delicate grace. Feet that were especially flat. Ballet master and icon George Balanchine said of her, "Hands like spoons. Feet like sticks of butter. Can't dance a step at all." I think Margot might have agreed. Her gift wasn't the steps, the physique. It was the way she just... had.

    --For "Margot," Dane Youssef

  • I like to watch her dance. She seems when I hear her speak to be so gracious and intelligent.

  • who is the interviewer or what show was this on?

  • I am reading her Autobiography, Margo Fonteyn. It is GREAT! She had success thrust upon her.

  • So refined and ladylike.

  • @wendyverdades I agree.

  • Ugh the person coughing in the background..so distracting.

  • As elegant as Hepburn

  • This great lady passed away in 1991 of ovarian cancer.

  • It's amazing how thin she is......without taking 'any exercise.' One of the greatest

    ballerinas who ever lived. Dear Margot you are missed!

  • For all her influence & genius, I must say that I get very tired of people going on & on about Anna Pavlova. In my opinion the true innovator of what became the modern classical ballerina was Pierina Legnani, who sadly has become a footnote in ballet history.
