NEW YORK (AP) — Carolyn George d'Amboise, a photographer and former dancer married to former New York City Ballet star Jacques d'Amboise, has died. She was 81.
He said she died Tuesday at their Manhattan home after a long struggle with primary lateral sclerosis, a rare neuromuscular disease.
A native of Dallas, Carolyn d'Amboise started her career performing in 1940s Broadway musicals as Carolyn George. In 1952, she joined the New York City Ballet, where she met her husband.
They married in 1956.
Jacques d'Amboise tells The Associated Press his wife "brought to flower the better part of me."
He and their four children are planning a celebration of her life on March 30 at Manhattan's Symphony Space.
