What Ballet Dancer married the Ambassador of Panama?

Question:It was Margot Fonteyn. Dame Margot Fonteyn de Arias, DBE, (18 May 1919, Reigate, Surrey, United Kingdom - 21 February 1991, Panama City, Panama), the British prima ballerina assoluta, was considered by many to be the greatest English ballerina of her time.
In 1955, Fonteyn married Dr. Roberto Arias, the son of the leader of Panama. He decided he wanted an office and decided to be the first Panamanian ambassador to England. Morgot had to buy the Embassy and pay for it's upkeep. He was a playboy, and their marriage was initially a rocky one due to his infidelities. She was arrested when he attempted a coup against the Panamanian government. In 1965, a rival Panamanian politician shot Arias, leaving him a quadriplegic for the rest of his life.
The cost of his medical care is a reason why Fonteyn's career lasted until 1979, her sixtieth year, despite her suffering from an arthritic foot. Upon her retirement, the Royal Ballet honored her with the title prima ballerina assoluta. She ended her days in Panama, remaining loyal to Arias in part because she was very devoted to his children from an earlier marriage. Because Arias's medical bills drained her finances, the Royal Ballet held a special "gala" in 1990 for her benefit. Shortly after his death, she was diagnosed with a cancer that proved fatal. She is buried in Panama.
