It's incredible to me that someone so talented and established in her field once felt nervous and scared going into an audition. Finding out stars have thoughts of inadequacy just like the rest of us makes the world we want to live in that much more tangible.

Adam Gauzza Philadelphia, PA Re: Ann Reinking's audition story. I met her when we were ballet students in Seattle in the 1960s. She was very accomplished at improvisation as a young dancer. She and I found every opportunity to practice, including in empty, cavernous parking garages (good for amplifying her voice when singing along with the car radio or simulating Robbins' choreography from the recently released West Side Story). We also crashed high school proms so we could take center stage and invent and display social dance and jazz moves. She caused a commotion in her miniskirt miniskirt skirts hemmed at mid-thigh or higher; heyday of the leg in fashion world (1960s). [Am. Hist.: Sann, 255–263] See : Fads .
