FONTEYN Margot 18. 5. 1919 - 21. 2. 1991
Angleška balerina je debitirala leta 1934 v baletni skupini Vic-Wells Ballet z glavno vlogo v Hrestaču. Plesala je v Evropi in Avstraliji. Njene slavne klasične vloge: Trnuljčica, Labodje jezero, Gizela in druge. Plesala je tudi moderen balet Ashtona in Helpmana. Njena kariera je bila nenavadno dolga, saj je od 1961 nastopala še z Nurejevom. Kariero je končala 1979. Takrat so ji na njen 60. rojstni dan v Ruskem kraljevem baletu podelili naziv "prima balerina assoluta". Ta naziv so uradno podelili le trem baletnikom. Bila je predsednica Kraljeve akademije za balet v Londonu. Občinstvo je navduševala z izrazno močjo in senzibilnim nastopom.

Margot Fonteyn  was an English ballet dancer whose career as a prima ballerina spanned several decades. She attended the Sadler's Wells Ballet School and made her debut as a snowflake in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker at Sadler's Wells in 1934. Ninette de Valois picked her out to succeed Alicia Markova as the company's ballerina, and within five years she had danced Giselle, Swan Lake, and The Sleeping Beauty. Moreover, she became the chosen interpreter of the ballets of Frederick Ashton, who joined the Vic-Wells Ballet (later Royal Ballet) in 1935. Fonteyn's partnership with Rudolf Nureyev, beginning with Giselle in 1962, gave her a new lease on her career at an age when most dancers are contemplating retirement. In 1979, on her 60th birthday, she was named prima ballerina assolutta, a title officially given only three times in the history of the Imperial Russian Ballet and its Soviet successors.

Rada je upodabljala ljudi, ptice, pse, konje in verske motive.
 
British sculptor and printmaker. She studied at the Guildford School of Art and with Bernard Meadows at the Chelsea School of Art. She was linked with the post-war school of British sculptors, including Reg Butler, Bernard Meadows and Eduardo Paolozzi, though her work is distinguished by her commitment to naturalistic forms and themes. Frink’s range of subjects included men, birds, dogs, horses and religious motifs. She concentrated on bronze outdoor sculpture with a scarred surface created by repeatedly coating an armature with wet plaster; each coating is distressed and broken, eliminating detail and generalizing form. In the 1960s Frink’s continuing fascination with flight was evident in a series of falling figures and winged men. While living in France from 1967 to 1970, she began a series of threatening, monumental, goggled male heads. On returning to England, she focused on the male nude, barrel-chested, with mask-like features, attenuated limbs and a pitted surface.
