Description

Biographical documentary of the great female figure skater. At 15, she would win the gold medal in skating at the 1928 Olympics, thus becoming the youngest Olympic skating champion, a record that stood for 70 years. She was champion again in 1932 and 1936 and managed to parlay athletic success into a lucrative career. In 1936 she turned professional and began touring with her own ice show, and soon after caught the attention of Hollywood. She signed with 20th Century Fox and played an ice skater in 'One in a Million' (1936). The film was a great success, and Sonja was now a movie star. Her popularity suffered briefly when a photograph was published showing her shaking hands with Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Olympic Winter Games in Berlin, but she continued to make popular light romantic comedies throughout the late 1930s and early 1940s. Sonja became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 1941 and, in the mid-'40s, her movie career tapered off, but she continued skating until her retirement in 1960. An astute businesswoman, Sonja was one of the ten wealthiest women in the world when she died of leukemia in 1969.
