Born in a Ballroom

Person and place are often one and the same. Born in a ballroom the night her parent’s cabin caught fire, Eleanor Mailloux danced her way through life and had an impact on her small West Virginia village in grand ways. Through entrepreneurship, creativity, and sheer grit, she inspired her town to aspire to more. Eleanor founded the internationally recognized restaurant, The Hütte, which reflects her unique legacy to this day. (Santa Barbara International Film Festival)
