yes I was his student and admired him profoundly. in both films and stage - in was always in collaboration with Balanchine. it is like a big blanket falling on the shoulders.""Everything I did. My mother couldn`t understand why I was so nervous all the time, but it is like this.when you have worked very hard to have a success and when it comes. It was printed that she was a hoax.Both Zorina and Gurie suffered from Goldwyn`s lukewarm protection of them, although a decade would pass before they both stopped making films. Little mattared that she had Norwegian parents and passport and had lived there since the age of one. She herself denies that idea, but his grandson confirms that that was the only time the Goldwyn marriage was on the rocks.Sigrid Gurie made a good impression, but suffered when it was disclosed she was born in Brooklyn, not Norway. The other is a lighthearted affair with lavish sets and costumes co-starring Gary Cooper, Basil Rathbone and Sigrid Gurie.Goldwyn fell badly in love with Zorina and various theories have been published. I love them! The first is an effective satire on Hollywood and shows us Vera Zorina at her comic best. The result was THE GOLDWYN FOLLIES and THE ADVENTURES OF MARCO POLO(both 1938) and they both failed badly as the box-office. In 1937 producer Samuel Goldwyn put two Norwegians on a contract. It is a showfilm really, made like a music video 2 showcase its talents in the film. Sonja became a star of the first magnitude and was Queen at the box-office until 1939 when the skating craze had ended. Zanuck injected a lot of talent including the Ritz Brothers in order to secure the movie at the box-office. ONE IN A MILLION is a showcase for Sonja and indeed Darryl F. Swedish ice-skater Vivi-Ann Hulten`s mother tried several times to diminish Sonja`s reputation and Papa Henie`s "unethical" methods. The dilemma concerning professionalism in the film is also from Sonja`s life. He didn`t have to give back his medal like Jean Hersholt`s character in the film though. For starters, Sonja`s father Wilhelm was Norway`s first World Champion ever - winning a bicycle race in the late 1890s.
