The web site is back! I guess it's been offline for five years?!? I took it offline to overhaul, and I am currently doing just that. But, as you can probably see, screen sizes have changed a bit in those five years, so I need to rework the site to take advantage of larger screens. I will also be adding some new content and features. But, for now, I'm just trying to get it all back online - then I'll start on the upgrade. Happy skating!

I had been rather sloppy about providing video information on Sonja's movies. I have remedied this problem. All of Sonja's movies except for "The Countess of Monte Cristo" and "Hello London" are available on VHS videotape. I have inluded the videotape information in the caption to each videotape sleeve image at the top of each movie page, and in a "Notes" section on each movie page. All of the movies are generally in stock at the big video/CD stores on the web.
