Does anyone know who the dancer is in the book "A Very Young Dancer"?

And what became of her after the book? Did she ever achieve other dancing fame? or a career?

My kids are curious. So am I.

Her name was Stephanie Selby, and here is a previous thread asking her whereabouts: Where is Stephanie?

A friend of mine was a classmate of hers at SAB at around that age, I know she did not in fact go on to join the company. This may not be correct, but I believe also her family is the one that donated the famous Neapolitan angel ornaments to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC that are on their big tree every holiday season.

I'm not sure who Stephanie was...
but Jill Krementz who photographed the book and has a link on NY Social Diary of Helene A's retirement from NYCB, there might be a link to contact Ms. Krementz, she may know what happened to her.

Leigh, thanks for pointing me -- gently -- to that recent discussion. I'm embarrassed to have asked the same question so soon after it was answered. That thread lived and died while I was on vacation, and I guess I never caught up. Wonder what else I missed?

You shouldn't feel embarrassed -- no way you could have known. This kind of question also provides an opportunity to revive old topics, should they warrant it.

With all due respect to the other posters, I thought "Six Weeks" was a pestilence. It tanked, and deservedly so, I thought. Might be good viewing for kids, though.
