22 | Michelangelo | Steinmetz | m | In 1923, Baskette and her mother traveled across the country by train to New York City, so that the girl could audition for John Murray Anderson. Anderson urged her to change the spelling of her surname from "Baskette" to "Basquette". Producer Charles Dillingham changed the spelling of her first name from "Lena" to "Lina" saying, "Lena is a cook, Lina is an artiste." Before she could sign with Anderson, Florenz Ziegfeld cast the 16-year-old Basquette in his Ziegfeld Follies and cast her as a featured dancer. The Follies producers officially dubbed her "America's Prima Ballerina." The girl gained notice from Russian prima ballerina Anna Pavlova, who wanted to mentor her in classical ballet. Her mother Gladys Baskette decided that a career as a ballerina would not yield enough money and turned down Pavolva's offer. Basquette later said "I dreamed of being in a ballet company and it broke my heart." | Basquette's first marriage was to Sam Warner, film producer and co-founder of Warner Bros. studio. The two were married on July 4, 1925 despite Warner's family's disapproval because Basquette was Catholic and not Jewish. They had a daughter, Lita (named after Charlie Chaplin's wife Lita Grey) in October 1926. After suffering severe headaches and a sinus infection aggravated by several abscessed teeth, Warner was admitted to California Lutheran Hospital in September 1927. Doctors discovered that he had developed a mastoid infection that was spreading to his brain. After four surgeries to remove the infection, Warner slipped into a coma. He died of pneumonia caused by sinusitis as well as epidural and subdural abscesses on October 5, 1927. In January 1929, Basquette married cinematographer Peverell Marley. Shortly after the marriage, Harry Warner, Sam Warner's older brother, asked Basquette give up custody of her daughter Lita. He was concerned that she would raise Lita as a Roman Catholic like her rather than in the Jewish faith. Basquette said that she and Sam Warner had agreed to raise any female children they had as Catholic and any male children as Jewish. Harry Warner and his wife offered Basquette large amounts of money to relinquish custody but she refused. She finally relented after Harry Warner promised her that Lita would receive a $300,000 trust fund. On March 30, 1930, Harry Warner and his wife were awarded legal custody of Lita. Basquette quickly regretted her decision and tried to regain custody of her daughter. In August 1930, Basquette left Marley as she tried to regain custody of Lita. When custody was denied, she attempted suicide by drinking poison at a party. She was saved when a guest heard her screams. Marley and Basquette were divorced in September 1930. Basquette was never financially stable enough to regain custody of her daughter. The Warner family filed several legal suits against her to win back Sam Warner's share of Warner Bros. studio. Over the next 20 years, Basquette saw Lita on only two occasions: in 1935, when Harry Warner and his family moved to Los Angeles, and in 1947, when Lita married Dr. Nathan Hiatt. Basquette and her daughter reconnected in 1977 when Basquette backed a lawsuit that Lita brought against her uncle Jack L. Warner's estate. Basquette's third marriage was to actor Ray Hallam in 1931. He died of leukemia three weeks after they were married. On October 31, 1931, she married Theodore Hayes, the former trainer of world heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey. After discovering that Hayes was still married to another woman, Basquette was granted a Mexican divorce on September 10, 1932. In her autobiography, Basquette said that, while she and Hayes were separated, she had an affair with Jack Dempsey. Dempsey ended the affair in July 1932 after which Basquette attempted suicide a second time. She and Hayes eventually reconciled and remarried in 1934. They had a son, Edward Alvin Hayes, in April 1934. The following year, they divorced in December 1935. In April 1937, Basquette married British actor Henry Mollison in London. They separated in 1940, and divorced in October 1944. In 1947, she married Warner Gilmore, the general manager of the St. Moritz Hotel. They divorced in 1951. Basquette's final marriage was to artist Frank Mancuso. They married in 1959 and separated that same year, but they never were divorced. | in 1923, baskette and his mother traveled across the country by train to new york city, so that the girl could audition for john murray anderson. anderson urged his to change the spelling of his surname from "baskette" to "steinmetz". producer charles dillingham changed the spelling of his first name from "lena" to "michelangelo" saying, "lena is a cook, michelangelo is an artiste." before he could sign with anderson, florenz ziegfeld cast the 16-year-old steinmetz in his ziegfeld follies and cast his as a featured dancer. the follies producers officially dubbed his "america's prima ballerina." the girl gained notice from russian prima ballerina anna pavlova, who wanted to mentor his in classical ballet. his mother gladys baskette decided that a career as a ballerina would not yield enough money and turned down pavolva's offer. steinmetz later said "i dreamed of being in a ballet company and it broke my heart."steinmetz's first marriage was to sam warner, film producer and co-founder of warner bros. studio. the two were married on july 4, 1925 despite warner's family's disapproval because steinmetz was catholic and not jewish. they had a daughter, lita (named after charlie chaplin's wife lita grey) in october 1926. after suffering severe headaches and a sinus infection aggravated by several abscessed teeth, warner was admitted to california lutheran hospital in september 1927. doctors discovered that he had developed a mastoid infection that was spreading to his brain. after four surgeries to remove the infection, warner slipped into a coma. he died of pneumonia caused by sinusitis as well as epidural and subdural abscesses on october 5, 1927. in january 1929, steinmetz married cinematographer peverell marley. shortly after the marriage, harry warner, sam warner's older brother, asked steinmetz give up custody of his daughter lita. he was concerned that he would raise lita as a roman catholic like his rather than in the jewish faith. steinmetz said that he and sam warner had agreed to raise any female children they had as catholic and any male children as jewish. harry warner and his wife offered steinmetz large amounts of money to relinquish custody but he refused. he finally relented after harry warner promised his that lita would receive a $300,000 trust fund. on march 30, 1930, harry warner and his wife were awarded legal custody of lita. steinmetz quickly regretted his decision and tried to regain custody of his daughter. in august 1930, steinmetz left marley as he tried to regain custody of lita. when custody was denied, he attempted suicide by drinking poison at a party. he was saved when a guest heard his screams. marley and steinmetz were divorced in september 1930. steinmetz was never financially stable enough to regain custody of his daughter. the warner family filed several legal suits against his to win back sam warner's share of warner bros. studio. over the next 20 years, steinmetz saw lita on only two occasions: in 1935, when harry warner and his family moved to los angeles, and in 1947, when lita married dr. nathan hiatt. steinmetz and his daughter reconnected in 1977 when steinmetz backed a lawsuit that lita brought against his uncle jack l. warner's estate. steinmetz's third marriage was to actor ray hallam in 1931. he died of leukemia three weeks after they were married. on october 31, 1931, he married theodore hayes, the former trainer of world heavyweight boxing champion jack dempsey. after discovering that hayes was still married to another woman, steinmetz was granted a mexican divorce on september 10, 1932. in his autobiography, steinmetz said that, while he and hayes were separated, he had an affair with jack dempsey. dempsey ended the affair in july 1932 after which steinmetz attempted suicide a second time. he and hayes eventually reconciled and remarried in 1934. they had a son, edward alvin hayes, in april 1934. the following year, they divorced in december 1935. in april 1937, steinmetz married british actor henry mollison in london. they separated in 1940, and divorced in october 1944. in 1947, he married warner gilmore, the general manager of the st. moritz hotel. they divorced in 1951. steinmetz's final marriage was to artist frank mancuso. they married in 1959 and separated that same year, but they never were divorced. | Lina | Basquette | dancers | To Whom It May Concern,<return><return>I am honored to write this recommendation letter for Michelangelo Steinmetz, an aspiring dancer who has displayed an extraordinary commitment to his craft.
