Vera de Bosset Stravinsky (January 7, 1889[1] – September 17, 1982) was an American dancer and artist. She is better known as the second wife of composer Igor Stravinsky, whom she married in 1940 after having been in an adulterous affair with him since July 1921.
- ^ In "Stravinsky: Discoveries and Memories" (Craft, Robert, Naxos Books, 2013, ISBN 978-1-84379-753-1, p. 154), Robert Craft recalls that "after an emotionally and physically exhausting day...Vera abruptly announced that she could not keep up, and that she was four years older than the dates on her passport." This would mean her true birth date was 1/7/1885, and her age at death 97.
