Growing up in an orphanage in the Bronx, separated from the mother she adored, Lilly never knew the care and loving attention of a stable family.
But she didnt let mounting obstacles and family tragedy stand in the way of her dreams.
From the time she was a little girl, when the nuns first took her to see the Rockettes perform, Lilly was driven to become a dancer.
