That’s Canadian Prima Ballerina Patricia Denise AKA Alexandra Denisova dancing with Gene Kelly. She danced in several MGM musicals including “Singin’ in the Rain”

“Marjorie Morningstar” (1958) is based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Herman Wouk, who’s mostly remembered for his historical fiction. Natalie Wood was a huge fan of it. You can read it for free here (https://archive.org/details/marjoriemornings0000unse_s1s5/page/n5/mode/2up)

I’m not well versed in yiddish but aparently the name “Airman” translates to a yiddish word that means “To disregard the practical matters of life”

While most of the cast of “Marjorie Morningstar” (1958) was at least of Jewish ancestry, the two lead stars Natalie Wood and Gene Kelly were not. Kelly was also 26yrs older than Natalie Wood (more than twice her age!)
