My funniest moment...when I was a rebellious first year student at Juilliard in ballet class. I was chewing gum in class!! (I was "bored" and thought I was too cool to be in level 1 ballet besides) Anyway, when we would face the barre to do exercises, I would chew my gum. And when turned around listening to teacher, I would stop chewing. AT one point, I got confused and was staring right at the teacher chewing gum!! The teacher, Alfredo Corvino, a lovely Santa Claus of a man, turned beet red and said to me "are you chewing gum."? I smiled sweetly and said "yes" and swallowed the gum right then and there! Sadly, this scene was copied almost verbatim in the film "Centerstage"..the writers of the script must have obviously heard my story ...and plaigarized it, of course!!Heeheehee!
