Zina Bethune

Zina Bethune (born February 17, 1945 in New York City) is an American actress, dancer and choreographer. Bethune started formal ballet training at age 6 at George Balanchine's School of American Ballet. By age 14 she was dancing with the New York City Ballet. As a child performer, she also appeared in several American daytime television dramas. Later in her career, Bethune starred in a memorable role as "The Girl" alongside the young Harvey Keitel's "J. R." in Martin Scorcese's first feature movie Who's That Knocking at My Door?. That movie was commercially released in 1967, although much of it (including Bethune's acting parts) was filmed in 1965 for Scorcese's film project at New York University (NYU).
