Virginia Bosler

Virginia Bosler was a dancer/actress born September 23, 1926 in Newton, Massachusetts, the daughter of Marjorie (Fairbanks) and John Bosler. She grew up in largely rural areas along the northeast coast, an environment she always preferred. Virginia started dance lessons as a child but gave it up for a few years until her interest was re-ignited as a teenager. She then attended Jacob's Pillow in Becket, Massachusetts for three summers, and was a favorite of Jacob's Pillow founder Ted Shawn. A physics and trigonometry whiz in high school Virginia attended Barnard College in New York for one year on a full scholarship to study physics. It was her first experience in a big city - and she hated it. Accustomed to the quiet of her childhood world, the pace and the noise of The Big Apple took a toll on her nerves.
