His parents started him in dancing school, and he has never stopped-dancer in West Side Story and Subways Are for Sleeping, choreographer of Company and Follies. At 32, Bennett is a thin, elfin figure with a short beard. He still works all the time and lives alone. Although he has just signed a million-dollar, three-picture deal with Universal, he collects only $75 a week from his business manager. "I have no possessions," he says.
