American Masters—Tanaquil Le Clercq: Afternoon of a Faun

Filmmaker Nancy Buirski documents the life of legendary dancer Tanaquil Le Clercq, whose career abruptly ended at age 27 when she was stricken with polio and paralyzed. Married to George Balanchine, Le Clercq served as muse to both her husband and Jerome Robbins; her story is an essential piece of New York City Ballet history.
