Shearer and Powell

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

Renowned British ballerina Moira Shearer, who starred in the classic Michael Powell/Emeric Pressburger films "The Red Shoes" (1948) and "The Tales of Hoffman" (1951), as well as Powell's controversial 1960 "Peeping Tom," died on this date in 2006 at the age of 80.
