Everybody can learn to dance. If they can walk, they can dance.
To make a man happy, treat him like a dog - plenty of affection and a loose leash.
I was christened Tula Ellice Finklea.
I joined the Ballets Russes when I was 14, and my name was changed twice. I was known as Marie Istomina, then as Felia Siderova. When I went to Hollywood and made my first movie, 'Mission to Moscow,' in 1943, I became Lily Norwood.
All I ever wanted to do was dance.
I was born in Amarillo. And my brother, who was a year older than I, had trouble saying the word 'Sister,' it came out 'Sid.' So I was called Sid.
