Description

Sonja Henie - Hollywood Ice Review
/ Souvenir Program (1948).
The souvenir program for the Sonja Henie Hollywood Ice Revue of 1948
shows the Moonlight Ballet as the second number in Act 2, with six Showgirls among the company
. It is possible that Old Fashioned and Betrothal Ball Waltz were renamed after the costumes were designed.
Sonja Henie (8 April 1912 – 12 October 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 has won more Olympic and World titles than any other ladies' figure skater. She is one of only two skaters to defend a ladies' singles Olympic title, the other being Katarina Witt, and her six European titles has only been matched by Witt.
At the height of her 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, My Lucky Star (1938), Second Fiddle (1939) and Sun Valley Serenade (1941).
She starred in more than 10 Hollywood Ice Revues which toured the United States with sold out performances in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago. This program is well-loved with smudged front and back, edge wear and corner fold. Inside is fine. NO tears. Great for its age.
