Throwback Thursday and James Dunne
James Dunne was a dancer with the Harkness Ballet, the Joffrey
Ballet and Dennis Wayne’s company Dancers. Sadly, today he is best known for his tragic death.
But he was reviewed in the New York
Times with the following headline: “Dancers:
James Dunne Sparkles” and as follows: “The
star of this no‐star company, on this occasion was very definitely James Dunne. Also: “Mr. Dunne is a very fine dancer
who has somehow never gotten his due. He was seen in the Harkness Ballet and the
Joffrey Ballet as a soloist, and this writer also caught him in the Connecticut
Ballet's “Don Quixote” pas de deux.”
James Dunne was brutally murdered in
August 1994 in Hawaii by Joseph O’Neill. O’Neill received a 70-year minimum
sentence for the killing.
From the Big
Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Dance History Secret #208:
“James Dunne was a dancer with Joffrey and Harkness.”
