Hvem daterede Sonja Henie?

Sonja Henie (8. april 1912 i Kristiania – 12. oktober 1969 på en flyrejse mellem Paris og Oslo) var en norsk skøjtedronning, OL-vinder, filmskuespiller og kunstmæcen.

Hun var datter af Selma Lochmann-Nielsen (1888 – 1961) og Wilhelm Henie (1872 – 1937). Hun vandt guld ved tre Vinter OL. Hun vandt også ti verdensmesterskaber og seks europamesterskaber i træk (1927 – 1936 og 1931 – 1936). Hun løb for Oslo Skøjteklub.

I 1937 blev hun professionel. Hun deltog i en række internationale isshows og medvirkede i flere amerikanske skøjtefilm. Hun bliver af mange anset for at være den internationalt bedst kendte norske kvinde gennem historien og har fået en stjerne på Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Med sin tredje mand, skibsrederen Niels Onstad, oprettede hun en stiftelse, som grundlagde et kunstcenter på Høvikodden i Bærum, Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter. 14 måneder efter åbningen af kunstcenteret døde Sonja af leukæmi. Hun var da om bord i et fly på vej hjem fra Paris. Hun blev 57 år gammel.

John Edward Powell Dunn (28 March 1917 – 16 July 1938) was a British figure skater who competed in the 1930s. His best finish was a silver medal at the 1935 World Figure Skating Championships.

Dunn was a close friend and lover of Sonja Henie, who was training in London towards the end of her competitive career. Following Henie's victory at the 1936 Winter Olympics, where Dunn placed sixth in the singles event, he accompanied the Henie family to the United States and became her professional skating partner in her touring ice show for the next two years. Their relationship ended when Henie became involved with Tyrone Power. Shortly afterward, in 1938, Dunn died from tularemia contracted from handling a rabbit while on a hunting trip in Texas. He died in Hollywood.

At the time of his death Dunn had appeared in the movie Everybody's Girl, been cast by producer Edward Small in the lead of The Duke of West Point (1938) and was in the running to play Rudolph Valentino in a film based on that actor's life.
