Ballet dancer Markova dies at 94, with Obituary. My first reaction was - so soon after Ninette de Valois? Turns out Ninette's been gone nearly four years.
A legend - especially for little girls who were ballet nuts. But 94's a good old age.
She died the day after her birthday. My friend did a Stats project which set out to prove that, in general, famous people die on or just after their birthday whilst nonentities die just before. Yesterday's Opera-L Artists Events mentioned that Jeremiah Clarke died on his birthday.
