Sonja: The White Swan

The inventor of modern ice skating, Sonja Henie was never alone. She was always surrounded by her family and had an appetite for money, men, parties and alcohol. After eleven World Championships and three Olympic gold medals as a figure skater, she set out to conquer Hollywood. Her first film topped the box office in 1937 and she became one of the best-paid actresses in Hollywood. But after thirteen films and two unhappy marriages, both the audience and her loved ones start to leave her, and Sonja can’t stand to be alone. Sonja lived a remarkable life on the ice, in Hollywood, and in her private life. But what does the star do when the spotlight is turned off?
