Royal Ballet dancer Margot Fonteyn was 42 and considering retirement when she first met Rudolf Nureyev, a former Kirov Ballet dancer who was 19 years her junior. From the moment he arrived in London, Nureyev insisted on dancing with her. She agreed reluctantly, and the two forged an incredibly successful partnership.
