James Mitchell

James Mitchell (February 29, 1920 – January 22, 2010) was an American actor and dancer. Although he is best known to television audiences as Palmer Cortlandt on the soap opera All My Children (1979–2010), theatre and dance historians remember him as one of Agnes de Milles leading dancers. Mitchells skill at combining dance and acting was considered something of a novelty; in 1959, the critic Olga Maynard singled him out as an important example of the new dancer-actor-singer in American ballet, pointing to his interpretive abilities and masculine technique.
