Description
Documentary on Marta Becket, a dancer, mime and visual artist who settled in Death Valley Junction, Calif., where she renovated and transformed the Amargosa Opera House and Hotel. The program looks at her present-day interests and pursuits: performing, painting, her on- and offstage partnership with local resident Tom "Wilget" Willett, exploring supernatural presences in the hotel and town, working to protect wild burros in the desert. Marta Becket has not only followed her many adventurous dreams but also has found ways to joyfully grow and recreate herself along her amazing artistic and human journey. Recalling the past, she describes her rocky relationships with her parents, her career in New York, and her ill-fated marriage to Tom Williams. Towards the end of the program she is seen receiving an award from the Professional Dancers Society.
