Rebecca is Ittchcock first American film and won the Academy Award as Best Picture of the Year in 1940. Based on the novel by Daphne Du Maurier, the film stars John Fontaine and Laurence Olivier. Lifeboat is considered one of Hitchcock most im pressive technical achievements. Nearly all of the action takes place aboard a cramped lifeboat after a ship has been torpedoed. Notorious is one of Hitchcock's romantic films, with the pairing of Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant and a plot involving Nazi spies in Rio De Janerio, North by Northwest, again starring Cary Grant, is con sidered by most critics as one of Hitchcock's best films. It contains several of Hitchcock's famous sequences, includ ing Grant being chased by a cropduster across lonely Indiana cornfields and the climax of the film with a cliff hanging struggle among the faces of Mount Rushmore. 'Addict' happy with bol let hobit By Grfa Erpstrcni -She says she's an addict. Her fixes have to come in daily doses. Yet, she doesn't foresee quitting in the near future. Her habit is expensive and takes a lot of hard work to support But Michelle Lucci doesn't get high from a needle, she gets inebriated by performing in ballets. On some cessions, such as after being engaged twice, Lucci said, she thinks about quitting dancing, but "I can't, it's like being an addict." Still, dancing is an insecure and hard life, said Lucci, principal female lead for the Pennsylvania Ballet, which performed at Kimball Recital JI;H list Friday and Satur day. She said it dancer oi cx r-, r - - r a certain length of time and a ballerina .t ;: . J : . ; l.u her prime until she's in her 30s. It's comp. ., : L:c cheese that must age, she said. Job hi Canada After her graduation from an all girls Catholic high school and her training at a ballet school in Buffalo, N.Y., Lucci landed a job at J 8 with the Rr " - peg Ballet in Canada. The job only lasted one season. "It was pure luck. It doesnt always happen that easily," she said. After her season in Canada, she returned to Buffalo and sent resumes to professional ballet companies. The Pennsylvania Ballet was the first to respond. She auditioned and has been with the troupe for about seven years. The 26-year-old dancer said traveling on the road isn't bad. The troupe is like a family whose members roust karn to like one another no matter what, she said. The troupe includes 30 dancers and 30 orchestra members. However, "It's a very hard life and not as glamorous as people think she added. Not boring "It's hard to keep track of hours and days. Sometimes all you see is the inside of a theatre on one night stands and your hotel." She said it isn't boring because during every perfor mance there is more and more to put into the roles artisti cally. The troupe performs 44 weeks ayear and during the remaining weeks, Lucci said, she still performs. ' , . "It's better to keep going, because you've got to stay, constantly thin and in shape.'' The Pennsylvania Ballet performs classical and some modem pieces, according to Lucci. "I'm not stereotyped as the classical ballerina, but I do prefer classical. A dancer has to be able to da both to fit into the company. It makes you a well-rounded dancer. Ballet at its best "The troupe tries to show as pure a classical ballet as we can and show ballet at its best," she said. It takes a certain type of person to be a dancer, one who wOl not crack at every little problem,- she added. "When you rehearse, it's like going through the motions. A" fantasy .comes alive when you perform. "The day's going to come when I can't dance. I would like to teach. If you dance for years, it's a very rewarding thing to pass on what you've developed to others. - 1 just wouldn't want to leave it, the absence would seem very odd to me." If she had it to do again, Lucci said, she vould choose the same career because My first true love is to dance.'" uccumentBry w j f V ' own Fhcto courtAry cf Fucto Film Productions.
