Sonja Henie Ice Revue


Sonja Henie (1912 – 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. 
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).
From 1936 to 1943, Henie formed a business arrangement for her touring ice shows under the name of "Hollywood Ice Revue".  At the time, figure skating and ice shows were not yet an established form of entertainment in the United States. In 1950 and for the next three seasons Henie produced her own tours under the name "Sonja Henie Ice Revue". In 1953, Henie formed a new partnership to appear in his European Holiday On Ice tour, which proved to be a great success.
