I have been watching my tape of "Reflections on Ice" again; I love that it includes a great deal about the older skaters. Sonja Henie-what a piece of work she was! One Austrian skater states that she kept hoping wistfully that Sonja would have an "off" day-but "off" was not in Sonja's repertoire, evidently . She said she never saw Sonja have as much as a cold. She was the perfect athlete with the personality of a bulldozer!
I read the (probably admittedly biased) biography that her brother co-authored. My favorite story is the one where she tosses down the roses someone brought saying, "Only orchids for Sonja!"
Has anyone heard any more stories about her?
