Harriet Toby (born Harriet Joan Katzman; December 12, 1929 – March 3, 1952) was an American ballerina who died in a plane crash at the age of 22. In a 1951 column for the New York Herald Tribune, Art Buchwald described her as “one of the youngest top-flight ballerinas in the business.” Dance critic Gérard Mannoni described her as “beautiful and technically strong” and regarded her as “one of the great hopes of international dance”—a testament to her remarkable talent and promise in the world of ballet.
