[1] Carolyn Soutar, The Real Nureyev (2004), pages 132-35. "Peter Martins used to say that all Rudi needed after a performance was a steak and a boy." Violette Verdy continues, "He even made a pass at my partner at the time, Mah�t. It was hysterical. He was talking to Rudolf and Rudolf told him to follow him into the bathroom. And, of course, Rudi was wearing only a towel and let it drop to the ground. I was in the other room, and Mah�t came back to tell me that he had 'never seen anything so big.' Mah�t told Rudi that it really wasn't for him and Rudolf just said that if he changed his mind to let him know."
