D I thought it was just me.
She's mostly forgotten now, but was a figure skater turned movie star.
She was a figure skater who won a gold medal and went to Hollywood after I think. Off to google....
Jinx
Liberace's one true love, right?
Only if she tucked
@Lotta, I was going to try and cheer you up with some Jax Teller but SOMEBODY apparently reported it to YouTube as a violation of standards.
@Somebody
I saw an ep of "The Haunting Of" Connie Stevens lives in the house that Sonja did when she was a star in LA. Connie thinks Sonja haunts the attic.
@Seven, who would report such a wonderful thing?
She won three Olympic Gold Medals and then became a star in some very odd skating musicals. And she toured with her own show forever. I'm a little embarrassed that this is the second thing I've ever posted about. And that when I do post it's because I know way more than I should about Sonja Henning.
Reading her Wikipedia page would've revealed this "blind".
Don't be embarrassed; own it!
I know more about her than I should too. And many other figure skaters. :)
