Black swan? No, the white one

A real swan and the eternal one:
Anna Pavlova and her swan Jack
A ballerina Anna Pavlova would celebrate her 130th birthday about a month ago (12th of February). She is widely regarded as one of the finest classical dancers ever. She was truly light and fragile on the scene.

She never played Odette of the Swan Lake (the character beautifully portrayed by Natalie Portman in the Black Swan movie, but she is also associated with a swan (completely white though) as she danced the miniature the "Dying Swan" in early years of the 20th century.
