Mikhail Baryshnikov

Highest Rated: 63% The Turning Point (1977)

Lowest Rated: 46% White Nights (1985)

Birthday: Jan 27, 1948

Birthplace: Riga, Latvia, Soviet Union

Mikhail Baryshnikov was introduced to ballet at the age of 9 by his mother. The purity of his ballet technique, the virtuosity of his split leaps and cyclonic pirouettes that did not compromise it and the fullness of his ambition combined to make Baryshnikov the preeminent dancer of the late 20th century. His appearances in movies and his high-profile romances heightened his allure and turned him into the first electronic-media ballet star, his fame surpassing that of the ground-breaking Rudolph Nureyev, who had preceded him.
