While we were rehearsing for the show we watched a work crew erecting some extra bleacher seats. We noticed they were working very clumsily and didn't look very skilled but figured they knew what they were doing. Were we ever wrong!

Help Sonja Henie (April 8, 1912 - October 12, 1969) Norwegian Olympic figure skater and professional ice skating performer, Henie, trained in ballet, added some elements from ballet into her figure skating routine. She was termed the "Pavlova of the ice," and her skating routine and glamourous demeanor helped to transform the sport permanently and increase its popularity. At the Winter Olympics in 1928, 1932 and 1936, she turned professional, touring Europe and America. (She was also ranked Norway's third best tennis player in her youth.) She starred in ten very popular Hollywood films and continued touring with the Hollywood Ice Revue which drew large crowds. She became an American citizen. Though her first two husbands were Americans, she moved back to Norway with her third husband, a Norwegian ship owner, where she founded a museum of modern art with her own collection of impressionist and postimpressionist art as its core. She died in 1969 of leukemia, succumbing while on a flight to Oslo. Sonja Henie on the web Sonja Henie Biography from the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Sports Biographies Alpha Index Index by Sport Index of Women Henie, Sonja Figure Skating b. April 8, 1912, Oslo, Norway d. Oct. 12, 1969 Other Resources A fine all-around athlete, Henie competed in tennis, swimming, and skiing and she also studied ballet before she took up figure skating. The combination of grace and athleticism that she brought to the sport transformed skating into a popular spectacle. Henie won the Norwegian championship when she was ten years old and competed in her first Winter Olympics in 1924, two months before her twelfth birthday. She finished second in the world championships when she was thirteen, and then won the title ten years in a row, from 1927 through 1936. She's the only skater ever to win three Olympic title, in 1928, 1932, and 1936. Her first two Olympic victories came easily. Her fourth was much more difficult. Henie announced her intention to retire after the 1936 Winter Games and then found herself in a close contest with a young English skater, Cecilia Colledge. Henie won by just 3 points. Petite, blond, and button-nosed, Henie proved even more successful as a professional performer and businesswoman. She starred in her own show, the Hollywood Ice Revue, and in ten Twentieth Century-Fox movies. In her first full year as a professional, 1937, she earned more than $200,000. When she died of leukemia aboard an ambulance plane carrying her from Paris to Oslo in 1969, she was worth more than $47 million.
