I think Camilla Belle would make for an unbelievably breathtaking Marie Taglioni, in a film about the famous ballerina's life. Here's a bit more info on Marie Taglioni:Taglioni, Marie (1804-1884)
Marie Taglioni was an Italian/Swedish ballerina; a central figure in the history of European dance. Born to the Italian choreographer Filippo Taglioni and the Swedish dancer Sophie Karsten (daughter of the Swedish opera singer Christoffer Christian Karsten and the Polish actress Sophie Stebnowska). She is said to have introduced the technique of dancing sur les pointes--on the points of the toes.
Taglioni was one of the most celebrated ballerinas of the Romantic ballet era. In 1832 her father, who was a dance master (and also he teacher), choreographed the ballet La Sylphide especially for her. She moved with such lightness that he once said: "If I heard my daughter dance, I would kill her." After a successful career as a dancer, Marie Taglioni became a teacher to the children of the English royal family, but she died in poverty.
