Maria Tallchief died. She was part of a group of Oklahoma ballerinas called the Oklahoma Indian ballerinas. Her father was Osage and her mother Scottish. She rose to the highest ranks and danced Stravinsky's Firebird, choreographed for her. She was even married to Balanchine. I'd like to read a biography of her sometime. What a movie her life would make!
It is cold today. I'm wearing a wool sweater. The weather makes my knees and toes and other worn out parts ache. I think it's a good day for a movie, if I can find one I want to see. In the meantime, I'll continue reading a Bill Bryson book that is quite funny, about Iowa, where he grew up and other small midwest towns.
