- Biography
- Dancer Claudia Vall Kauffmann Fein (1908-2008) studied ballet in her native Zagreb, later becoming a student of modern dancers Gertrud Bodenwieser and Gertrud Kraus in Vienna. After receiving a degree in orthopedic exercise for children, she returned to Zagreb and opened her own studio. Fein later danced with Angiola Sartorio's ballet company (Balletto della Città di Firenze) in Florence, Italy. With her first husband, Dr. George Kauffmann, she fled the Nazis and fascists and went to Cuba, performing there with Fred Berk. In 1941, Fein and Kauffmann emigrated to the U.S. and made their home in California, where Fein became a teacher for child television performers. Actress Jill St. John was one of her students. She married Sam Fein when in her eighties.
