Rudolf Nureyev and Yves Saint-Laurent after ballet
January 6, 1993 - RUDOLF NUREYEV (March 17, 1938 - January 6, 1993) was a Soviet-born dancer of ballet and modern dance, one of the most celebrated of the 20th century. Nureyev's artistic skills explored expressive areas of the dance, providing a new role to the male ballet dancer who once served only as support to the women. Nureyev defected from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961, despite KGB efforts to stop him. Died from cardiac complications due to AIDS, at age 54 on January 6, 1993.
