Bruce Wall Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Sad news. I only saw her dance live twice but the memory burns bright. She was a force of nature. RIP. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was indeed. I saw her once at a gala hosted by Natalia Makarova in the mid 80s. Two utterly glorious divas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharon Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 She was so chic and sophisticated. Unforgettable in her signature ballet Carmen. Very sad news. R.I.P 🙏🏽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scheherezade Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 And, from a different angle, who can forget that line from Peter Sarstedt's "Where do you go to, my Lovely?": "You talk like Marlene Dietrich/And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire ..." 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelia Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I never had a chance to see her on stage but loved in "Hans Christian Andersen" (1952). Erik Bruhn and Zizi Jeanmaire: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pas de Quatre Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 (edited) Gala review I never saw her live in a classical piece, but I did see her in "Mon truc aux plumes". It was electrifying! She was dancing in this gala at the Coliseum in the early 1970s with famous classical dancers from around the world and she stole the show! This is from the NY Times, the only reference I could find. The show may have been a flop financially, but it was a triumph as far as the audience was concerned.
