From the L.A. Times:

“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.”
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.
