According to Blades, Sasha is reaching for celebrity status!!!
Sasha's movie
- Thread starter Mathman
- Start date
I think (maybe this is me hoping) that Sasha's realized acting isn't all that and a bag of cookies so she's realizing how much skating is a part of her, how she misses it, etc. I do think she loves it, in her own way. Why else would she keep going after failure after failure to get the gold? In a way it's much worse than MK and IS. Sasha has no major title. And she keeps going.

Speaking of skaters who went onto become famous movie stars, we can't overlook Carol Heiss. Here she is in the title role of "Snow White and the Three Stooges"

There's a nice concise bio of Sonia in last issue of Blades. In fact there are quite a number of concise bios of many female skaters including Jaqueline du Bief who invented the Illusion (that's the spin that looks like a windmill).SeaniBu said:
Sonia will always be special to figure skating but one has to acknowledge that it was Madge Syers who got the Ladies recognized as skaters in world competitions.
The Blade's issue is a good issue for the history of the legends.

Where in my statement could I possibly have said that? Anyway since you brought it up: I think a little (keyword here: LITTLE) bit of hype to generate interest is OK. But it's when it goes overboard (and it becomes a marketing ploy) that I get sick of it. Maybe a day before the competition or the day of the competition it's fine, but when it starts weeks or months in advance that's when I have a problem with it. Doesn't matter who the person is.

You can't forget that for the past 3 years you did nothing but scream HYPE at MK and mostly based on what you read on the Boards, not from any real publicity.Red Dog said:
Suddenly it doesn't matter who the person is. Yeah.

And let's not hear about a lot of baloney pressure and hype in the future. All skaters get hyped; all skaters have nerves when competing. End it all now and discuss the actual skating.Red Dog said:

And here she is on another show (Sabrina the Teenange Witch)!

She gets mentioned several times on Will and Grace, Friends and other sitcoms. I wonder if any other current skater has. I would imagine some of the other icons have been (Peggy, Dorothy), but times have changed and many have no clue who skates.

I'll admit that I was a fan ( not too much of a surprise I am sure ) for the first 4 years or more - drove by there "house" (acutely in Altadena) to pick up one of the kids I was a "Charles in Charge for....anyhoo,
I think I remember that, but It may be part of that "Hollywood fog" I was living in.
or it happened after I stopped watching.
