  • ... that ballerina Georgina Parkinson taught Kenneth MacMillan's ballet Romeo and Juliet to Mikhail Baryshnikov and Leslie Browne for the film The Turning Point? Source: "Parkinson's first experience of teaching came when her friend Nora Kaye, wife of the film director Herbert Ross, asked her to substitute for MacMillan, who was unable to come and teach Mikhail Baryshnikov and Leslie Brown a Romeo and Juliet pas de deux for Ross's 1977 film The Turning Point."

    • ALT1:... that ballerina Georgina Parkinson created several roles in ballets choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan, including Romeo and Juliet, Manon and Mayerling? Source: "Kenneth MacMillan picked her for the plotless Symphony (1963) and for Romeo and Juliet (1965) where she was Rosaline (and where she would later dance the title role)... She was the Tsarina in the three-act version of Anastasia (1971), the gaoler's mistress in Manon (1974), and the Empress Elizabeth (Crown Prince Rudolf's mother) in Mayerling (1978)." (same link)
