Photographer Colin Jones's best shot

This was shot in 1966 for Time Life magazine, part of a day-in-the-life series they wanted on Rudolf Nureyev. It was taken in a pub in Fulham, London. The woman is Lynn Seymour, who I was married to at the time. They were doing Romeo and Juliet together, and they used to get on well; we used to go out drinking together all the time. Rudi was a great laugh, very outspoken – if something wasn't right, he'd really lay down the law. He was fantastically bright, spoke six languages, and had an animal magnetism: you couldn't take your eyes off him when he was on stage.
