And a Happy Birthday shout-out to Misty Copeland, who turns 33 today!
Copeland just made her Broadway debut as 'Ivy' in ON THE TOWN. The dancer made history when she became the first African-American woman to be named principal dancer of the legendary American Ballet Theater. A documentary following her journey -- A BALLERINA'S TALE -- will be released in October. Last year, Copeland also served as a guest judge for three weeks on FOX's popular competition show SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE alongside ON THE TOWN producer Nigel Lythgoe.
