My Take
Betsy Blair draws me in through the sheer length and breadth of her devotion to the craft. Beginning at age eight as a dancer, radio performer, and model before joining a chorus line, she built a life in entertainment that eventually carried her across the ocean to settle in London. For a woman of her era to keep choosing her own course took uncommon resolve. She moved fluidly between stage, screen, and dance, the mark of a true all-around performer. There is something I find quietly tender about her presence in those old films, and I cherish it.
