Product Description
Meeta’s Memoirs begins with stories of Meeta’s rather eccentric middle class family, starting from about 100 years ago. The only education she received was at a small private primary school, which she attended until the age of seven. Later Meeta danced with the Anglo Polish Ballet; appeared in the film The Red Shoes; danced in a nude show at the Kilburn Empire (as clothed resident ballerina); appeared on the first dancing show on television by Beverly Nicholls; and later danced at Glynbourne Opera with Kathleen Ferrier.

While overseas during World War II, Meeta dressed as a soldier and went within 50 yards of the front line. Meeta also performed at the Cairo Opera House, where she danced in the can-can for King Farouk.

Meeta ends up in her back garden as a happy old lady looking forward to the future.
