 Meredith Daneman on her new biography about superstar ballerina, Margot Fonteyn
Former dancer and author Meredith Daneman's new biography looks at the life of Britain's most famous ballerina Margot Fonteyn.
Born Peggy Hookham just after the First World War, Margot danced into her sixties and was pivotal to the popularisation of ballet in the twentieth century.
Jenni asks Meredith about Margot's relationship with the driving force behind her success, her mother, and finding out about her off stage relationships with other dancers, most notably Rudolph Nureyev.
Margot Fonteyn by Meredith Daneman is published by Viking, ISBN 0670913375
