 Telegraph | Arts | Dance of the telepathic space assassin
The slender, quietly-spoken Glau, a former professional ballerina, was forced to abandon dancing when, aged 19, she broke a toe.
Glau brings to the role all the delicate grace of a dancer but, says Whedon, "there are hidden reservoirs of determination inside her and she is incredibly strong."
Glau has recently returned from Romania, where she was filming Mammoth, another science-fiction story, but this time one in which she plays a normal, fun-loving teenager.

 Classic TV & Movie Hits - Summer Glau
Biography: Summer Glau (born July 24, 1981) is an American dancer and actress, best known for her role as River Tam in the short-lived science fiction series Firefly.
A professional dancer from the age of 12, Glau relocated to Los Angeles in 2002.
She appeared in a few television commercials, but Glau's first television credit was a guest role on the 2002 episode "Waiting in the Wings" (episode 3x13), of the television series Angel (playing a ballerina), where she caught the eye of producer Joss Whedon, who later cast her in Firefly.

 R. Tam Sessions (Session 416)
The thinking was that if it were to be definitively determined whether or not River Tam was portrayed by Summer Glau, that likely would settle the matter, since it was exceedingly unlikely that she would appear in a fan-made video (if for no other reason than union rules).
Originally, this theory suggested that it might have come from Summer's performance on the season premier of The 4400 on USA Network, but those who had seen the episode reported there is nothing about that story or her performance which is consistent with the "Session 416" video.
At the start of this part, Summer's face lit up and she leaned forward expectantly, as if she was fairly excited that a press person on this junket was actually asking her about these clips.
