The year 1982 was the first time Healy was a key part in the film Six Weeks, with Mary Tyler Moore and Dudley Moore, portraying a young ballet dancer suffering from leukemia. The actress was nominated to win an Golden Globe Award for this part for the role in “Best New Star – Actress”.

Following her graduation from Princeton, she worked as a principal ballerina with Les Ballets de Monte Carlo and the Vienna State Opera Ballet. In Monte Carlo, she danced (among other roles) the leading roles in George Balanchine’s Theme and Variations, Tarantella, Rubies and Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux as well as in Antony Tudor’s ballet Gala Performance. Roland Petit created a principal role for her in Mozart et la Danse in 1991. In Vienna, her roles included (among other roles) Lise in La Fille Mal Gardée, Kitri in Don Quixote, Juliet in John Cranko’s production of Romeo and Juliet, the title roles in Giselle and in Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s production of Manon, as well as the title role of Raymonda in revived excerpts of Rudolf Nureyev’s production of Raymonda. She also performed leading roles in John Neumeier’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Hans von Manen’s Letzte Lieder, George Balanchine’s Serenade, Apollo and Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux and the principal role of Masha (i.e. Marie, or Clara) in Yuri Grigorovich’s production of The Nutcracker. She was featured in the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day Concert on PBS with Walter Cronkite in 1993, 1994 and 1996 on worldwide broadcasts. Her appearance in 1996 was in a piece choreographed especially for her by Heinz Spoerli. She returned to the United States in 1997, where she resumed her skating career.

She taught on the faculty of the Valentina Kozlova Dance Conservatory of New York (New York City) until June, 2008. In January 2008, she won the Outstanding Choreography Award at the Dance Educators of America Semi-Final Competition in New York City for the ensemble piece “Por Una Cabeza” she choreographed for the advanced students at VKDCNY.

Born to New York City, Healy was never a champion at the highest stage in figure skating, rather, she became a professional at eleven. At the age of six, in 1975 she took part in the telecast SuperSkates show in Madison Square Garden. The following year she was featured as the protagonist of the publication An Exceptionally Young Skater, published in 1979. She was a disciple of John Curry and skated professionally with his team.

The real goal of her career was, however, not to become an figure skater, rather, to be an experienced ballet dancer. She trained at the George Balanchine School of American Ballet, and portrayed the role of Marie (more frequently referred to by the name Clara) for the NYC Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker in 1978 and 1979.

After returning to the United States in 1986, she entered Princeton University. She graduated Magna cum Laude from Princeton University in 1990 with a degree in Art History. She was also the recipient of the Senior Thesis Prize in the Department of Art and Archaeology for her thesis on French Impressionism. During her time at Princeton, she continued her ballet training exclusively with Wilhelm Burmann, who remained her private ballet coach for the rest of her dancing career. Also during her college years, she performed as a guest artist in Japan, Canada and with several local companies in the New York area such as the Eglevsky Ballet, Connecticut Ballet and New Jersey Ballet. She performed the title role of Cinderella, Odette in Swan Lake (Act II) and the lead role in Balanchine’s Allegro Brillante for the Eglevsky Ballet, the role of Swanilda in Brett Raphael’s production of Coppélia for the Connecticut Ballet and Odette in Swan Lake (Act II) for the New Jersey Ballet (partnered by Leonid Kozlov). In addition, during her time at university, she trained once again with John Curry and made some sporadic skating appearances. Among these were televised appearances in An Evening With Champions (PBS), Symphony of Sports (ABC Wide World of Sports) and Happy New Year USA (PBS) where she performed a solo La Rose du Bal and was partnered by John Curry in an ensemble waltz from Tchaikovsky’s music for Eugene Onegin, choreographed by Tim Murphy.
