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.'"
