Sonja won her first Olympic gold medal at 15 and was also a real looker who “starred” in a number of movies although she couldn’t act a lick (think Esther Williams on skates). She could cut a figure on the balance sheets, too, and by the time she died of leukemia at 57 in 1969, she was said to be one of the world’s ten richest women.
You forgot to mention star of a few movies. She was to Ice Skating movies what Esther Williams was to swimming themed movies but Esther did it to much better effect.

Me in ‘84. Even I don’t know who is Sonja Henie. I would’ve gone with Michelle Kwan.

We’re Sonja Henie and Peggy Fleming good friends as ice skaters?

Not too bad for someone whose last name is a synonym for tookas.
