melmothblog:Nov 29 is the birthday of one of the most beautiful women in the history of ballet - Inna Zubkovskaya.Zubkovskaya trained at the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, graduating in 1941. She joined the Mariinsky (then Kirov) Ballet where she remained until her retirement in 1970. At the time, for a Moscow-trained ballerina to be invited to dance in St Petersburg was unheard of. After retirement, Zubkovskaya became a coach and worked at the theatre until her death in 2001.Zubkovskaya was half-Jewish. Her exceptional beauty earned her the nickname “Black Pearl”. -- source link
