...made with airy irony, but the fact is that she went through an ugly-duckling stage in late childhood?glasses, fat cheeks, permed hair and a bossy, show-offy disposition, as she recalls it. "She was pretty ghastly," admits her younger brother "Third" (Harry Streep III), 30, a modern dancer who heads the Third Dance Theater in Manhattan.

"We didn't go for fire-works," says Amanda of her final-round pas de deux from Sleeping Beauty with Partner Simon...

Yukinojo is played by two people: a tenor (Mallory Walker) who sings the role, and a dancer (Manuel Alum) who mimes the part.
