" If Twiggy at 59-years-old and Joan Didion at 81-years-old last year both securing major beauty and fashion campaigns for L&amp;#039;Oreal and C\u00E9line, respectively, doesn&amp;#039;t signal that age is nothing but a number, then perhaps Principal Dancer, Alessandra Ferri at 53-years-old headlining Romeo and Juliet tonight for American Ballet Theatre is a sure enough telling.  The age-old story of young love will be told tonight by Ferri, whose first major role was with the Royal Ballet in 1982. From 1985 to 2007 she danced for ABT and returns this evening in the star role of Juliet opposite Herman Cornejo, Romeo, for the first time since her retirement from the Company in 2007.  With choreography by, Kenneth MacMillan and set and costume design by, Nicholas Georgiadis, on Saturday afternoon, the Metropolitan Opera House will host Misty Copeland in the role of Juliet.
