Which actor played the lead male role in the 1977 film, 'Valentino'?

I think he was and is still the best ballet dancer

what a sad end

@mammy1027, And at such an early age

I got to see him dance with Margot Fontaine when the Royal Ballet came to San Francisco in about 1969

I made a total fool of myself once when I crossed paths with him at a Broadway show in New York City. I wanted to say hello in Russian but what came out instead was « I love you » 🤣 he said « spasiba » just barely cracking a smile.

Rick-N-Bacher, yes, I agree he was a ballet dancer first, but he did star in White Knights, but as a dancer not an actor. I think

Hhh46za, me too.

always thought he was a ballet dancer, not an actor. though he did star.in White Knights, did he not?

nureyev wasn't an actor, why would he be cast as a lead role
