Ms. Watts was born as Linda Heather Watts in Long Beach on September 27, 1953
As a little girl, she was a troublemaking child
She had always wanted to be an actress
An acting coach advised her taking ballet classes, seeing as she was incredibly dramatic (and clumsy)
She started dancing at the age of 10, came to New York at the age of 13 on a Ford Foundation summer scholarship to attend the School of American Ballet, the official school of the New York City Ballet
She moved permanently to New York at age 15, again on a Ford Foundation scholarship to the School of American Ballet
Watts joined the New York City Ballet in 1970 and was promoted to principal dancer by company founder George Balanchine in 1979
George Balanchine took Watts into his companies "because he would not let such a talent disappear"
During Ms Watts's tenure with the company, she had numerous principal roles created for her by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, and Peter Martins among others
Mr. Balanchine gave Ms. Watts the principal roles in many of his existing masterpieces, including Agon, Concerto Barocco, Apollo, Symphony in C, Theme and Variations and Serenade
