    Principal dancer for The Royal Ballet
    Danced 'The Sleeping Beauty,' 'Swan Lake,' 'Apollo,' 'La Bayadère,' 'Cinderella,' 'Serenade,' 'Manon,' 'Giselle,' and 'Romeo & Juliet'
    Expecting first child (July, 2001)

Why she might be annoying:

    It is hard to find a partner for her, because at 5'9 she is quite tall for a ballerina.
    In Hello Magazine, she admits to being spoiled as a child.
    They asked her what she wished for with her child and she said: 'That we can give it what it wants without it becoming a spoilt brat.
    But then, I was a spoilt brat and I didn't turn out too badly! (2001)'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She ranked #99 in 1995 in FHM's 100 Sexiest Women of the year.
    She is ranked in People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the World (1994).
    In three months, after joining the Royal Ballet, she became the principal dancer.
    Time Magazine reported: 'Among newcomers, there are several young ballerinas who combine technical wizardry with terrific impact.
    The most remarkable of them is the Royal Ballet's Darcey Bussell, 25, a beautiful young woman who seems poised to be a major star of the future.'
    Time Magazine complimented her style: 'Though she has lived in London all her life, Bussell is often characterized as having a distinctly American style.
    That is shorthand for speed, an audacious freedom of movement and an offhand, nonshowy virtuosity - all qualities that make Bussell exhilarating to watch. (February 13, 1995)'
    She began her training as a ballerina at the late age of 13.
    Critics and audiences are impressed by her daring on stage performances.
