The Mad Russian and the Dane, Part 3: Interviewing Rudi
"When he came out everybody was yelling “Rudi, Rudi, Rudi!” As he passed me I said quietly, 'Mr. Nureyev.' He stopped and said 'Yes?' I don’t remember the details, but I assume I reminded him of who I was and asked him for an interview. I don’t recall if he agreed, or referred me to his manager, Chris Allen. But whatever happened, I was set up with an interview before the last Sunday matinee of his production of 'The Nutcracker.'" -- BY NEAL WEAVER
