An archive relating to the work of Patricia Foy as a producer and director for the BBC and independently, and her work with Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, including photographs (c.300), many by Richard Levin, cards, autograph letters from Fonteyn (c.20), scripts, articles, documentation, expenses, the Leningrad State Kirov Ballet souvenir programme, 1961, etc. Patricia (Paddy) Foy, 1922-2006, will be remembered for persuading Margot Fonteyn (who became a close personal friend) to tell the full story of her life for the first time in the memorable BBC documentary. She was a prolific director and producer (for the BBC from the 1950s) responsible for the British debuts of Nureyev, the Fontaine-Nureyev partnership, Placido Domingo, Jacqueline Dupre etc., having responsibility for such programmes as 'Music for You' and 'Gala Performance'. Musically-trained initially, her passion led her to work with a large number of world-renowned stars, notably Menuhin (60th Birthday tribute) and Tito Gobbi. She also produced and co-directed with Nureyev, a full-length ballet of Romeo and Juliet, choreographed by Nureyev.
