Most tributes to Sonja Henie has naturally focused on her outstandig career as an iceskater; 10 times a world champion and 3 times Olympic Gold Medalist. I wanna focus on the very fact that she was and remains the most famous Norwegian woman of the 20th century. She was a superstar in her own right and here you`ll see proof of that very fact. I love Hollywood glamour and no one outranked her in that department... Here she is pictured with Don Ameche, Cesar Romero, Ethel Merman(in the 1938 Happy Landing), social functions with Joan Crawford, Romero, Ameche, Peter Lorre, Cole Porter, Clark Gable, King Olav V of Norway and his wife Martha, Harald and Sonja(at the opening of the Henie-Onstad-Arts Center 1968), Marcel Cerdan, Edith Piaf, Donald Duck in The Autograph Hound 1939 and Tyrone Power in the 1937 Thin Ice. She is also pictured with her 3d husband Niels Onstad 1909-1978 as she puts down the foundation stone in what was to be the Henie-Onstad Art Center in 1968 and the grand opening featuring the Norwegian Royal Family. At last, Miss Henie and Mr Onstad`s grave at the center and her statue at the Frogner Stadium. I am pictured with it in 2008. Henning Sebastian Jahre.
