Milton’s List of Dance Beauties
by mickeypamo
Below are hand-written pages that Milton Oleaga used to organize his spiral bound books of 30-50 photographs each. I’m assuming the names written are included within each of the books.
If anyone finds his or her name on this list, or knows a person named on this list,
please write with contact info. to mickeypamo@gmail.com so I can put names to faces and post properly.

p.s. I think what I have are copies from Jan, as some of the names at tops are cut off . . . but legible
p.s.s. Include some Harkness babes and dudes that I marked
p.s.s.s. See the group of Limón photos and accompanying text? Each of those identified on these sheets deserves the same extensive background of their own dancer’s life to be shared . . . not only ‘deserves’, but we want to read of your life . . . richly different from all others . . . despite the mundanity of fame.
We worked hard for our money! So ya better treat us right! Yeh.
Fabulous pictures! I remember Milton well – he photographed me several times in Luigi’s class – and once, at his studio when he wanted to play around with different filters. My name is Laurie Wendorf and I’m on his handwritten list – #20.
Laurie,
How wonderful that you found Milton’s list, though I don’t know how you looked then. I’m finally getting to posting his many photographs. When you see your picture, write me at mickeypamo@gmail.com, and I will send it (them) to you.
peace,

Mickey,
I will! I also am in touch with Carla Lewis, whose name appears in group #2. I’ll definitely let her know. It’s wonderful of you to do this! I actually have a few photos that Milton gave me – they are in my old gypsy trunk in my garage. Haven’t been in there in a looooong time because of spiders! Maybe I’ll get a can of Raid, put on my big girl tights and venture in.
Best,
Laurie
