Picture of the Week #42 "Swan Lake at the Bolshoi" Moscow, Russia 1988 Signed and Stamped
While participating in the first Soviet - American Film Interchange where two of my movies were being screened, I was able to attend the famed Bolshoi Ballet. I remember sitting near Raisa Gorbachev and in front of Jacques D'Amboise the head of the American Ballet theater. When one of the dancers leaped across the stage they landed with a thud, rather than a graceful pitter pat on the wooden floor. Jacques later told us that all of the great Russian dancers had immigrated to Europe and America. Nonetheless I enjoyed every minute in the baroque theater with my celebrity contingent of film participants.
