Description: Known as "the first great Balanchine dancer," this renowned American ballerina was one of George Balanchine's first pupils at his famed school; she debuted in 1942 before joining the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo briefly in 1943, later performing with other notable groups and on Broadway before retiring in 1957. IPS, 8" X 10", n.p. n.y. Near fine. Superb glossy head-and-shoulders studio portrait of a young Moylan, handsomely inscribed and signed in blue ink in a light area at lower right: "To Edna -- / With my very best wishes / Mary Ellen Moylan," followed by her usual stick figure drawing of a ballet dancer -- reminiscent of Leslie Charteris' "Saint" figure. A choice example, not dated but clearly of 1950s vintage at the height of her fame. .
