Rudolf Nureyev (1938 - 1993) was a Russian dancer, best known for his work in ballet. In 1961, he defected and was not allowed to return to Russia until 1989.
For nearly thirty years Nureyev danced anywhere, everywhere, seemingly every night - his passion for performance was insatiable and he drove himself far harder than any maitre de ballet would have dared. [1]
