In her latter years - she died in 1981 at the age of 89 - Lydia Lopokova became uninhibitedly eccentric. The once dazzling star of the Ballets Russes ended up as an amiably dotty old lady who sunbathed naked, attended Glyndebourne in her dressing gown, walked the streets with an upturned shopping basket on her head and heated her house to a temperature which left visitors faint and gasping. Premis
The story of the splendidly unpredictable Russian dancer who ruffled the feathers of the Bloomsbury set and became the wife of John Maynard Keynes Born in 1891 in St Petersburg, Lydia Lopokova lived a long and remarkable life. Her vivacious personality and the sheer force of her charm propelled her to the top of Diaghilev's Ballet Russes. Through a combination of luck, determination and talent, Lydia became a star in Paris, a vaudeville favourite in America, the toast of Britain and then married the world-renowned economist, and formerly homosexual, John Maynard Keynes. Lydia's story links ballet and the Bloomsbury group, war, revolution and the economic policies of the super-powers. She was an immensely captivating, eccentric and irreverent personality: a bolter, a true bohemian and, eventually, an utterly devoted wife. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
