Garfield Is Cat's JVieow Of Success Stories things people would never have the nerve to do. He makes us feel better about things we have guilt complexes about like oversleeping, overeating and not exercising." Are there any similarities between the gentle Davis and the agressive Garfield? "We both hate jogging and have a passion for pasta," Davis says. "In the strip, if Garfield is on a diet I'm on one in real life." Garfield, a feisty feline with an affinity for overeating and oversleeping, has become the fat cat of the comic strip world.

In Stuttgart, Cragun immediately was cast with seasoned ballerina Marcia Haydee. "The question was, 'Can Richard cope doing 'Eugene Oneghu' and 'Romeo and Juliet' with a dancer already on her way?" The was yes. They became a team offstage for 16 years and remain so onstage.

"I think we dance better together now than ever before," he says. "We know how each other feels about everything." Cranko died in 1973 and Miss Haydee now heads the Stuttgart company. Cragun flew to the United States before the Marseille Ballet season to dance in a Jacob's Pillow memorial near Lee, for dance writer Walter Terry. Terry's 22nd and last book was a biography of Cragun. In the coming season, Cragun will dance in Cranko's "Romeo and Juliet" with the Paris Opera Ballet He has had talks with Robert Joffrey.

John Neumeier is creating a "Streetcar Named Desire" for Cragun and Miss Haydee for October for the Stuttgart Ballet Hell also take time off to rest "One of my favorite things is to get a bottle of wine with an artist friend and dive into each other's experiences and philosophies of where we belong," he says. He wanted to study in the Soviet Union or England and was accepted at the British Royal Ballet school when he was 15. "I flew the coop," he says. "My family supported me my first year in London. "It was a grueling year in London.

They have elementary, intermediate and advanced courses. It generally takes a year for each. But time was pressing. Being a proud American bey, I wanted to earn my own money. I had taken my elementary course in California.

I made an arrangement to take the other two years in one." One of his British teachers then wrote to John Cranko, who had left the Royal Ballet to head the Stuttgart Ballet in 1961, Since Cragun was unable, as a foreigner, to join the Royal BaUet, she suggested that Cranko take him on her word. Cranko did, 1 "I was going on 17 when I joined Stuttgart in 1962," Cragun says. "I thought, 'WelL this will be a provincial company which will pay me a salary which 111 use as the financial means of getting "I didn't realize I'd meet Cranko the first day and my whole life would be changed." A year and a half later, he received a letter saying the Royal Ballet's board had decided to accept him as the first American in the company. He was thrilled.

The star dancers in that group are in demand by ballet companies from Australia to Boston because they're good and their names on the bill sell tickets. Cragun, an American, is little known in the United States. But that's changing. His 21-year career, anchored In Stuttgart, Germany, and already expanded in Europe, is gathering steam here.

He was a guest star when Roland Petit's Ballet National de Marseille, France, performed in Montreal, Washington and New York this summer. He danced title roles in two full-evening ballets. "I'm eager to stretch my career in whatever field possible," he says. "I'm thriving on new inspirations and fields. But it's not a question of me going out and looking.

I've been sort of pulled out" Most of the handsome, green-eyed Cragun's guest star appearances have been in Europe, as when Maurice Bejart chore6-graphed his own interpretation of "Petrouchka" r- Petrouchka becomes schizophrenic and asked Cragun to dance it He did the premiere with Bejart's tremendously popular company before an audience of 12,000. "I like something with character and challenge, where the audience is less interested in what your legs and feet are doing than what your mind is doing," Cragun says. He grew up in Sacramento, and studied dance there. His teacher realized he was gifted and told him to fini a higher level of discipline and competition 10 lb. bucket.
