Dutch double in Nureyev's shoes A Dutch pop star turned actor who has never danced before has been put through an intensive basic ballet course so he can portray Rudolf Nureyev. Michiel Huisman will play the dance legend in a BBC TV film called Margot, about Margot Fonteyn and how performing with Nureyev revitalised her career in the Sixties and Seventies.Anne-Marie Duff will portray Fonteyn in the BBC4 production that starts shooting in London at the end of this month. The production had been searching far and wide for someone to play the Russian star who defected to the West in 1961. Scores of actors were auditioned and Russian dancers were arriving daily on easyJet flights from Moscow in the hope of impressing director Otto Bathurst and producers from Mammoth Screen. But only Huisman had the combination of animal magnetism and exoticism required. 'It's a bit of a leap because he has no background in ballet, but he can act the part and we can do a bit of cheating with a ballet double and train him enough so there's a sense of Nureyev,' an executive connected to the film told me. Anne-Marie will also have a dance double for some scenes. Nureyev was 23 and Fonteyn was 42 when they first danced together. Their partnership gave her a further ten years or more at the top. Penelope Wilton, currently playing Gertrude opposite Jude Law in Hamlet at Wyndhams Theatre, will play Fonteyn's pushy mother. Lindsay Duncan will portray ballet giant Ninette de Valois, while Derek Jacobi will play influential choreographer Sir Frederick Ashton - a pivotal character in the lives of both Fonteyn and Nureyev. Many dancers from the Royal Ballet will be featured in recreations of the famous ballets the couple performed.Huisman had notable screen roles in the movies The Black Book and The Young Victoria.
