Sonja Henie Norwegian figure skater Sonja Henie first skated in the Olympics in 1924 when she was 12 years old, and was the world skating champion for ten years. She won gold medals in Olympic women's singles figure skating in 1928, 1932 and 1936. An innovator on the ice, Henie drew on her studies of ballet and introduced dance-like skating techniques (routines up to that point had consisted mostly of technical exhibitions) and more revealing costumes than had been in favor in the past. Audiences were captivated, and figure skating's popularity grew along with hers. Her movie-star looks and grace led her to Hollywood and a second career as an actress. Henie appeared in 11 feature films, starring alongside such leading men as Adolphe Menjou, Tyrone Power and Ray Milland. She also performed in various "Ice Revue" tours following her retirement from Olympic competition. Henie enjoyed other sports as well, and was an accomplished skier and tennis player. She became a naturalized United States citizen in 1941, although she later returned to Norway to found an art center. Henie died of leukemia at age 57.

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! As the overature for the show began (around 8 PM) we heard a strange screeching sound and then a roar. The roar was the sound of a thousand seats, filled with people, crashing 18 feet to the floor! They were sitting in the bleachers that had been hastily built during our rehearsal! The screeching was the nails being pulled out of the wood!

Henie, Sonja Sonja Henie Pictorial Parade (1912-1969), athlete Born in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway, on April 8, 1912, Sonja Henie began skating when she was six years old. At the age of 10 she won the Norwegian national figure-skating championship, and at 11, in 1924, she competed in the Olympic Winter Games. In 1927 she won the world amateur championship for women, holding that title for 10 consecutive years. She won three gold medals in the Olympic Winter Games of 1928, 1932, and 1936.

Having turned professional after her Olympic triumph in 1936, she toured Europe and the Americas as the star of the Hollywood Ice Revue, and for a time (1951-52) she acted as producer of her ice shows. In 1936 she signed with 20th Century-Fox and starred in 10 popular films, beginning with One in a Million (1936/37) and Thin Ice (1937). From 1937 to 1945 she was one of the leading box-office attractions in the motion-picture industry.
