Summary:"Drawing on letters, correspondence, oral histories, and interviews, Baronova's daughter, the actress Victoria Tennant ... recounts Baronova's dramatic life, from her earliest aspirations to her grueling time on tour to her later years in Australia as a pioneer of the art"--Dust jacket flap.
In the 1930s and '40s, the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo toured the United States and the world, introducing many to ballet as an art form. One of ballet's most glamorous stars, Irina Baronova, was prima ballerina for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo and later for Ballet Theatre in New York. Drawing on letters, correspondence, oral histories, and interviews, Tennant recounts her mother's dramatic life, from her earliest aspirations to her grueling time on tour to her later years in Australia as a pioneer of the art.
