Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Sonja Henie was a three-time Olympic gold medalist who parlayed figure skating into Hollywood stardom, essentially inventing the athlete-to-entertainer pipeline.
The 'World's Fair' tagline refers to the 1939 New York World's Fair, where the film's spectacular ice sequences were allegedly so impressive they upstaged the actual fair attractions.
