NYCB Vol. 10 No, 31 - Stars & Stripes

“For a quarter of a century, Milly [Melissa Hayden] and I danced together, guesting with other companies, doing concerts and television—every opportunity to get onstage together. We became like an old couple, an institution, a caricature—in the ballet Stars and Stripes, the company nicknamed us ‘Ike and Mamie’ after President Eisenhower and his wife.”
