Director, Producer, Choreography, Actor Born: March 17, 1938 in Irkutsk, Russia Death: January 6, 1993 in Paris, France Biography:Matchless Russian ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev had a passing relationship with films as early as 1958, when as a member of the "Kirov Ballet" (later the Saint Petersburg Ballet), he was prominently featured in the Soviet short subject "Le Corsaire". After his defection to the West in 1961, Nureyev confined his activities to the ballet stage, most often in collaboration with longtime partner "Margot Fonteyn". Fortunately, there are several filmed records of Nureyev at work, even though they make no great cinematic breakthroughs: "An Evening With the Royal Ballet" (1963), "Romeo and Juliet" (1966), "Swan Lake" (1967), "Sleeping Beauty" (1970), and "Don Quixote" (1973). Nureyev's best film work, both in terms of ballet and in showing his nonperforming "human" side, was the 1973 documentary "I Am a Dancer". He also contributed a brace of dramatic performances, first in "Ken Russell"'s "Valentino" (1973)... Full Biography
