Beautiful

Such a great ballerina Great picture

Beaming, adoring fans! ;) L to R: Helen Brecknell, Helen Thibou, Sonia Humphrey (1947-2011), Margot Fonteyn (1919-1991) and Michael Somes (1917-1994); Mascot Airport, May, 1957. [1] Don't miss reading "When Sonia met Margot" -- a brief article by Valerie Lawson that explains how these three 9-year-old girls came to meet Margot Fonteyn (and appeared on page one of The Sydney Morning Herald) -- and how this chance meeting led to another front page Herald story, five years later, showing Sonia and Fonteyn looking at the previous photo together. This is a gem of a footnote that totally brings this photo to life!

Thanks, Pixel Wrangler

I truly hope it's not ill-mannered to share a photo from another's photostream here – it's just that, like the nine-year-olds pictured above, I'm a beaming admirer!

Yesterday Dame Margot Fonteyn was honored with a famous Blue Plaque at the site of the London flat she lived in.

– Royal Opera House Covent Garden
