		When Markova, the company's first ballerina, left in 1935, Fonteyn worried with the rest of the dancers, and most of the audience, about who could ever replace her: over the next 3 years it became apparent that it would be she herself.
		By the time she was 16 her promise was unmistakable, and this is not just hindsight: it seems as if everyone who ever went to the ballet in the 30s wrote a book about it, and accounts published even before she had tackled any of the great classic roles forecast greatness for her.
		Fonteyn gave her final performance in the early 70s, and retired to Panama to live with her husband, who had been paralysed in a shooting incident.

	Margot Fonteyn - Meredith Daneman - Penguin UK
		Margot Fonteyn - born plain Peggy Hookham - was dreamed into existence by the architects of British ballet: Ninette de Valois, Frederick Ashton and Constant Lambert.
		I must forgo 'Fonteyn' reluctantly, along with my own sense of propriety at doing so, and adopt the intimacy of her Christian name, which was also not hers to begin with, but into which she grew with her simple and instinctive grace.
		The outer reflects the inner, and Margot's unity of physique was served by a deeply unifying mental approach to her work, an obedience and submission to the letter of each step which somehow imbued the smallest movement with an orderliness and unclutteredness that made it speak.

	Margot Fonteyn's steely majesty
		After all, seated at the foot of the king's throne, I was just a few feet away from Margot Fonteyn as she performed the role of Aurora and danced the Rose Adagio -- that exquisite test of princess-like delicacy and steely balance that was one of the hallmarks of her career.
		Daneman wisely quotes Keith Money, Fonteyn's friend and photographer, on the subject: "I think Margot was a mystery to herself in a number of ways, and although her 'simplicity' of style and nature was widely remarked, it always seemed to me that she was an extremely complex -- indeed almost split -- personality.
		Fonteyn and her fellow dancers, the pioneers of British ballet (long the preserve of Russians), made their way through all the hardships of World War II.

	Show immortalizes dancer Margot Fonteyn - (United Press International) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Fonteyn (1919-1991) was a superstar in her own right when she made her U.S. debut at New York's Metropolitan Opera House in 1949, dancing the role of Princess Aurora in "The Sleeping Beauty" with the Sadler's Wells Ballet, which later became the Royal Ballet.
		Fonteyn told intimates she had to keep dancing to pay for medical bills and living comforts for her adored husband, Roberto Arias of the Panamanian political dynasty, who had been left paralyzed by an assassination attempt.
		Fonteyn not only danced the classical repertoire, she created roles in Ashton ballets and performed in revivals such as Michel Fokine's "Firebird" and "Petrushka." Details of her long career are recorded in three autobiographical books she wrote in the 1970s.

	Margot Fonteyn - Meredith Daneman - Penguin Group (USA)
		The legend of Margot Fonteyn has touched every ballet dancer who has come after her, and her genius endures in the memory of anyone who saw her dance.
		Daneman reflects on Fonteyn’s “lyricism and limpid purity of line, so potent with theatrical moment that even film cannot capture it” and the world of ballet from the birth of the British Royal Ballet to Rudolf Nureyev, her final partner and rumored lover.
		And, perhaps, her high eyebrows, although one suspects the photographer of having retouched them in the high style of the day; for it was at the dawn of the 1920s that Margot Fonteyn was born - between 4 and 5 a.m., on 18 May 1919.

		Margot Fonteyn was born in England in 1919 - her real name was Peggy Hookham - and spent some of her childhood in China.
		When Markova, the company's first ballerina, left in 1935, Fonteyn worried with the rest of the dancers, and most of the audience, about who could ever replace her: over the next three years it became apparent that it would be she herself.
		Symphonic Variations and Cinderella followed, and the seal on her progress from national treasure to international star was set by her triumph in New York on the company's historic opening night in 1949.

	The Mystery of Margot Fonteyn
		Fonteyn’s main sexual partners were also her artistic mentors; the dipsomanic conductor Constant Lambert, the Parisian dancer Roland Petit and the insatiably homosexual RudolfNureyev.
		Seeing Fonteyn dance in her own biopic is no worse, surely, than watching Jamie Foxx mime Unchain My Heart as the liquid voice of Ray Charles flows from his bobbling larynx in the recent movie, Ray.
		When Rudolf Nureyev fell into her lap five years later, her waning appetite to expose her aching joints to further physical punishment was rekindled as much by his phenomenal memory for authentic routines as by his unbridled physical energy and his near-filial dependency on her love and her authority.

	Margot Fonteyn by Meredith Daneman: Reviews
		Meredith Daneman's Margot Fonteyn is such a book: the author achieves an astonishing imaginative fusion with her subject.
		Fonteyn's New York appearance in “Sleeping Beauty” in 1949 is thrillingly described.
		The account of the shooting and crippling of Margot’s husband, Tito Arias, in 1964, in Panama, her reactions to it, the subsequent story up to his death and her own terrible illness is brilliantly done.

		Fonteyn also refused to have any closeups, a choice which might have hidden her wrinkles but has a distancing effect on the viewer.
		Fonteyn actually churns out the fouettes, confirming something I've long suspected: that everyone looks at the fouettes, but Odette/Odile's real challenges are the balances, footwork, and leaps, and this is where you can see Fonteyn suffer.
		Fonteyn is wonderful as Odette/Odile, such grace is rarely seen and Nureyev is in his prime - Nureyev always danced with passion and the pair always danced as if they were meant for each other.

		I was interested in the Norman Lebrecht article because of the suggestion that Margot Fonteyn was not very good on film, and that all the old films do not show anything of her genius.
		On the subject of the proposed film it would be almost impossible to show what was special about her dancing when somebody else will have to do the dancing.
