Read I Love the Illusion: The Life and Career of Agnes Moorehead Online
Authors: Charles Tranberg
In regards to your question: What was the most important thing I
learned in High School? I have always, even at a tender age, looked for
cultural things in my life; my interests leaning towards dancing, art, English
literature, etc. I imagine they were very important to me because they were
what I could do most successfully. Never have I regretted discovering at an
early age what my interests were and following through with my ambitions,
regardless of discouragements and difficult times. Ballet, in particular, taught
me precise discipline. I learned that I could not take enjoyment from dance
without giving something in return — hard work and discipline, not only
of body, but of mind . . . I hope the above will be some help to you.
