Mikhail Baryshnikov

Mom assured me famous artists lived in our future town, which in my mind would make the fact that I was on TV seem completely normal.

Laurence Olivier and Vivian Leigh once lived here, she said, and now Baryshnikov does.

In addition to Mikhail Baryshnikov, Bill Murray lived in Sneeden's Landing, as did John Voight's French ex-wife, who moved there with her two children after divorce.

Mom said one of the kids was named Angie.

Now, John Voight's daughter is Angelina Jolie.

But also something that I, that Jessica shared with me was that she went to class one day.

She, as just someone who studied ballet her whole life, she went to a beginner class and Baryshnikov was in that class.

So this legend who's taught us so much about ballet, just watching him, was at the bar doing really basic things.

And that inspired Jess to keep practicing basic things.

Maybe.

The Starca was from the Gene Hackman, Mikhail Baryshnikov movie that I can never remember what it's called.

It's called Company Business.

Company Business.

Once you get into a lockup, it's going to get pulled apart quickly.

He actually may have made it worse doing the full-on Baryshnikov around the whole Delta Club, knocking into the wings and the mozzarella sticks.

It was just this.

You see, you put the extra sauce on

And the same thing was Vogue World, right? It doesn't get much more ambitious than taking the September issue and bringing it to life as a celebration of New York.

And so what does that look like what does that feel like whether you're Oscar the Grouch or Serena Williams or Lil Nas X or Baryshnikov like what does that look like and how do you do that in a way that's audacious and then building that that world around those so I think those are the things that uh that are consistent about them.

And also just like what gets me excited is, right? Like you're not getting out of bed to do small things.

Those are things that I will be forever proud of.
