I have often wondered if Makarova ever met her idols, Tamara Karsavina and (especially) Olga Spessivtseva? They were both still living when Natasha came to the West, so it would have been possible. Does anyone know?

She has! According to this interview, Makarova met with Tamara Karsavina, Olga Spessivtseva, Matilda Kshesinskaya and Serge Lifar.

The meetings with Karsavina and Spessivtseva were very brief, but Makarova got to have lunch with Kshesinskaya in the latter’s house, where she was accompanied by Lifar.

My mind gets blown when I think about her meeting these people in person...

Portrait of ballet dancer and choreographer Serge Lifar (1904-1986). Lifar was another ballet dancer who became famous thanks to Sergei Diaghilev's Les Ballets Russes. As a choreographer, Lifar distanced himself from Diaghilev's view by emphasizing ballet as a distinct form of art with more importance than the music, costumes and decors. No more 'Gesamtkunstwerke' for Lifar, and that's one of the ways in which he modernized ballet. After Diaghilev's death in 1929, Lifar plundered the apartment of his mentor and lover, which meant the start of Lifar's own notable collection of ballet-related items and letters. After WWII, Lifar was suspended from the French stages because of his collaboration with the occupying Germans. #sergelifar #lifar #lesballetsrusses #sergeidiaghilev #balletdancer #choreographer #queerdancer #portrait https://www.instagram.com/p/CiHryPSN67y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
