"Sonja Henie's name is pronounced Sunya Henny, and she is the best woman ice skater in the world. Because she is also pretty and pert and one of the most graceful creatures alive, Twentieth Century-Fox paid her $100,000 to appear in its movie, One in a Million. In 1927, when she was 14, Sonja won her first world's figure skating championship, has been champion ever since. In 1936 she took her third Olympic championship, then turned professional. In One in a Million, she plays an ice skater who becomes Olympic champion and turns professional."

"The finale of One in a Million (above) is Sonja Henie's triumphal professional debut at Madison Square Garden where, in real life, she did make her professional debut last March. The film gives Sonja plenty of chance to skate and also gives her a film lover, Don Ameche (right). Sonja's real sweetheart, however, is Tyrone Power Jr. For One in a Million, Twentieth Century-Fox had to cover its rink with frozen milk because refrigerating pipes showed through water ice, had to train chorus dancers to be ice skaters because it could not train ice skaters to do chorus routines."
