Throwback Thursday and Liane Daydé
Born in Paris On February 27, 1932, Liane Daydé joined the Paris Opera School when
she was eight years old, and became a corps de ballet member when she was
fourteen. By the time she was nineteen she was a star dancer.
In 1959 she joined the Compagnie du Marquis de Cuevas and in 1963
she founded Le Grand Ballet Classique de
France which toured the world.
She appeared in films such as Mayerling
(1968), La Septieme Porte (1947),
Les Malheirs de Sophie (1946), and Us Kids. She also appeared on television
in a movie western playing herself, called Das
Lacheln im Westen (1965). She
also appeared more than once on the Dinah
Shore Chevy Show (1959-1960).
Beginning in 1979 she opened her own school in Paris and devoted
her life to teaching.
Here is a fascinating article she wrote in January 2013 that
describes her dance training: http://www.augustevestris.fr/spip.php?article281
