	H-Net Review: Julia Foulkes on No Intermissions: The Life of Agnes de Mille
		In 1982, seventy-seven years old and debilitated by a stroke, Agnes de Mille fell on her bedroom floor.
		De Mille was as much a writer as a dancer and choreographer, and she wrote biographies and books ostensibly about other subjects that reveal as much about the author as the subject (notably, her biography of Martha Graham); her biographer thus has to contend with a familiar narrative and de Mille's insightful and witty interpretations.
		The philandering and eventual departure of her father when she was an adolescent inevitably shaped de Mille's own tortured attempts to find love and believe in it, according to Easton.
