Eva Evdokimova and Rudolf Nureyev. Apparently he was very difficult to work with but the opposite is true of Eva, everyone speaks very highly of her. They had a wonderful 20-year partnership, they really complemented each other.

From the L.A. Times:

                                                                                                                                   By Claudia Puig                                                                                           

July 10, 1989                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

“American ballerina Eva Evdokimova was on the bill to dance Mikhail Fokine’s “The Dying Swan” Sunday at a command performance in the Casino de Monte Carlo. Prince Rainier III and Princess Caroline of Monaco were expected to attend the performance, a benefit for the John Gilpin Scholarship Fund of the Academie de Danse Classique Princesse Grace. Evdokimova claims she is the highest-paid dancer in ballet history. The reason: When she danced the two-minute, 58-second “Dying Swan” last September in Berlin (in front of Frederick the Great’s palace), she received a custom-built Mercedes-Benz, valued at more than $80,000. Evdokimova, 40, has been prima ballerina of the Deutsche Oper, Berlin, since 1973.”
