...casual observer, William Holden Bell appeared to be the very model of a hardworking, leisure-loving Los Angeles suburbanite. A U.C.L.A.-trained radar engineer, Bell, 61, had put in 29 years with Hughes Aircraft Co., a major defense contractor once owned by the late Howard Hughes. Together with his pretty second wife Rita, a Belgian-born Pan American airlines cabin attendant, and her nine-year-old son from an earlier marriage, Bell lived in a fairly ordinary-looking condominium complex in Playa del Rey.

He remembers being "seduced by dance movies from the time I was eight," but did not begin to study until age 19, when he entered Los Angeles' Stanley Holden Dance Center, which was recommended by longtime Reagan Friend Gene Kelly. Within two years he was offered a scholarship by the prestigious Joffrey school in New York City.
