In 1936, fresh from her string of skating wins, Sonja and family board Île-de-France to sail to NYC, where Wilhelm hires Producer Arthur Wirtz to manage her career, a partnership lasting for thirteen years although Wilhelm Henie unfortunately passes suddenly in 1937. And now she plans to conquer Hollywood to earn great wealth and world-wide fame. At the next three Winter Olympic games, of 1928, '32 and '36, Sonja Henie wins the gold medal, plus a record ten consecutive gold medals at World Championships (1927-36), and six first place wins at European Championships (1931-36), becoming a major celebrity in Norway. She pioneers a new look, wearing white skates and above-the-knee costumes, created by Selma, Wilhelm managing her career. In 1921, at age nine, Sonja wins her first skating competition, the Norwegian championships, but at 1924 Winter Olympics, she places eighth, and fifth at World Championships, thus vowing never to lose again.
