Do you remember US figure skater Julie Lynn Holmes - the Californian who finished second to Janet Lynn at the US Nationals from 1969 - 1972? Julie Lynn was a dynamic, yet graceful brunette who bore some resemblance to Peggy Fleming. She outskated Janet Lynn at the 1970 and 1971 Worlds, as she (Julie) finished third and second, respectively, while Janet finished fifth and fourth, respectively.
Julie Lynn came into the 1972 Olympics as the defending World silver medalist, and after the school figures, she was in an excellent position to win a medal. However, her free skating let her down, and she finished fourth overall.
I've never seen Julie Lynn skate as a professional. Perhaps she left the sport as an active skater and turned to coaching, etc.
