Google Books

Very difficult to find much about her on Google Books, except a few lines about the Vanoff Family Foundation (which I've added, as it is relevant to her role as a philanthropist), and another few lines about an architectural firm she hired with her husband for their garage, which isn't very relevant IMO. Her name also comes in an index of a biography about Perry Como, which fails to give a page number as far as I can see...so not relevant IMO. She also comes up in the "afterthought of a hairdresser's memoir, but that too seems irrelevant to me. The few other Google Books hits don't have snippets, but they don't look very 'aha' to me either. There must be books where she is mentioned at greater length somewhere, for such a renowned dancer and philanthropist, but hard to find them online.Zigzig20s (talk) 10:27, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Google Scholar

My search on Google Scholar is nil. I find it hard to believe she comes up in no academic journal about dance at all...but I don't have access to databases at present. Let me know if you can find anything. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 10:29, 16 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
