Timeline
She was born in San Fernando, Trinidad on May 30, 1917, and following intensive training with Ninette de Valois, made her debut in 1934 at the age of 17 with the Royal Ballet (which was initially called the Vic-Wells Ballet and later the Sadler's Wells Ballet). It was de Valois herself who changed her first name from Doris to Pamela. Both she and Fonteyn became the reigning stars of the Royal Ballet after 'Alicia Markova' left the company for an international career.
In 1946, she graced the stage in Frederick Ashton's major neo-classical ballet "Symphonic Variations" (1946), which featured the blonde Pamela with brunette Margot Fonteyn and redhead Moira Shearer of The Red Shoes (1948) cinematic fame.
Recurring knee injuries eventually forced Pamela to retire her ballet shoes in 1952.
From 1954 to 1977, Ms. May earned major recognition as a dance teacher at the Royal Ballet. Known over time for her colorful life off stage, this elegant blonde's impressive work includes her Odette/Odile in "Swan Lake," Princess Aurora in "The Sleeping Beauty," both the Red Queen and Black Queen in "Checkmate," Myrtha in "Giselle" and Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella.
She was awarded the Royal Academy of Dancing Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award in 1976 for her contributions to dance.
She did continue in mime pieces and occasional character roles, such as the Queen in "Swan Lake," until retiring altogether in 1982.
She was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 1997 Queen's Honours List for her services to dance and was Vice-President of the Royal Academy of Dancing where she taught ballet from 1954 to 1977.
She was known both for her grace and exuberance as a British classical ballerina in the early years of the Royal Ballet, and helped lead the company into international prominence. The second most popular dancer of the company who was oft times left in the shadows to play "second lead" to life-long friend and peer Margot Fonteyn, Pamela May was nevertheless a British favorite especially in her interpretations of 19th-century classics.
