- Moira Shearer, Lady Kennedy, was an internationally famous Scottish ballet dancer and actress. She was born Moira Shearer King in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, the daughter of actor Harold V. King. In 1931 her family relocated to Ndola, Northern Rhodesia where she received her first dancing training under a former pupil of Enrico Cecchetti. She returned to England in 1936 and trained with Flora Fairbairn in London for a few months before she was accepted as a pupil by the Russian teacher Nicholas Legat. After three years with Legat, she joined the Sadler's Wells Ballet School, however after the outbreak of the World War II her parents took her to Scotland. She made her debut with the International Ballet in 1941 before moving on to Sadler's Wells in 1942. She rose to international fame in 1948 after starring in her first film, as Victoria Page in the ballet-themed film The Red Shoes, directed by Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger. With hair that matched the titular footwear, the role and film were so powerful that even though she went on to star in other films and worked as a dancer for many decades, she is primarily known only for playing "Vicky". In 1972, she was chosen by the BBC to present the Eurovision Song Contest when it was staged at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. According to author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor's The Eurovision Song Contest - The Official History, Moira accepted the role of hostess as her children wanted something to tease her with in the future. She wrote for The Daily Telegraph newspaper and gave talks on ballet worldwide. The choreographer Gillian Lynne persuaded her to return to ballet in 1987 to play L. S. Lowry's mother in A Simple Man for the BBC.

Hon dansade alla berömda balettroller och kallads en ny Margot Fonteyn. Shearer turnerade även runt i USA med Sadler's Wells. Denna rödhåriga, spröda och älvlika kvinna fick ett sensationellt genombrott 1948 för sin huvudroll i den vackra och tragiska balettfilmen De röda skorna, som blev en enorm framgång världen över, inte minst i Sverige. Hon var programledare i Eurovisionsschlagerfestivalen 1972 och 1974 återvände hon till Londonscenen, där hon hade en dramatisk roll i pjäsen Man and Wife.
