Just saw this. Very sad!

That's very sad to hear. I gather from the article that she was unwell recently.

I just heard the news on CTV. Indeed, a sad day. She was a figure skating Icon in Canada. Barbara Ann Scott symbolized greatness in her sport and inspired many a skater in Canada to take up figure skating. She will be missed by the figure skating world.

I forgot to mention the famous Barbara Ann Scott doll:

I had a Barbara Ann Scott doll when I was little. It was my most prized possession because she was so beautiful. She lived in the bottom drawer of my dresser.

When I met Ms. Scott at Canadians in Ottawa in 2006, I told her about my doll and she asked me what colour the dress was. I said white with white fur around the skirt. She looked just like the doll in the picture linked above.
