I don’t go on Facebook every day and I didn’t know she had died July 9.
She was an unusually stimulating woman to talk to !
Had a memorable lunch with the Barnetts when they were in town several years ago–then took (walking from Times Square part of the way) those two incredibly vigorous over-75s to Lincoln Center and watched some old NYCB tapes. Then had dinner with Wilde and the two of them when Barnett presented her with the Dance Magazine award a few months later in 2013.
Virginia always said important, interesting things, forcefully and charmingly expressed. . . unfortunately, we won’t get to do that interview for Ballet Review that we talked about.
But I’m so glad she’s quoted in Wilde Times! Just an extraordinary person.
