In or around 1950/51 I was dancing and one day went to Frederick Freed the ballet shoe company in London. Vera Ellen had been in just before me and left a pair of soft ballet shoes, previously ordered by her, beacause the colour of her costume had been changed. Her instruction was to give them to the next person who came in that they fitted. I was that lucky person. I still have them to this day - now a faded emerald green satin. Many thanks for this wonderful collection of photos. A lovely tribute to a great actress.
