Kim Lee Teaching Priscilla Presley – Russian Split 1976
This museum-quality vintage Pilates print “Priscilla Russian Split 2” captures Kim Lee teaching Priscilla Presley on the reformer at Kinetic Integral Movement (K.I.M.) in early 1976.
Trained under Ron Fletcher in the early 1970s, Kim Lee and Wanda Bouvier became integral figures in the evolution of West Coast Pilates. After running Fletcher’s studio during his New York leave, they opened The Anatomy Asylum, later relocating to form K.I.M.—where this remarkable photograph was taken.
This image, photographed by Eddie Sanderson, documents a defining moment in Pilates history—showcasing classical technique, celebrity culture, and the refinement of the Fletcher lineage.
