Sonja Henie

Henie at the 1936 Olympics Sonja Henie (8 April 1912 – 12 October 1969) was a Norwegian figure skater and film star. She was a three-time Olympic champion (1928, 1932, 1936) in women's singles, a ten-time World champion (1927–1936) and a six-time European champion (1931–1936). Henie won more Olympic and World titles than any other ladies' figure skater. She is one of only two skaters to defend a ladies' singles Olympic title, the other being Katarina Witt, and her six consecutive European titles have only been matched by Witt.

At the height of Henie's American acting career, she was one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood and starred in a series of box-office hits, including ''Thin Ice'' (1937), ''Happy Landing'' (1938), ''My Lucky Star'' (1938), ''Second Fiddle'' (1939), and ''Sun Valley Serenade'' (1941).
