So I’m watching another riveting episode of Svengoolie (The Man With 9 Lives) and some memory trigger for Lynn Holly-Johnson comes up. Boomer men remember her from the 1978 classic Ice Castles. Trust me she was a big deal. She was a Bond Girl for heaven’s sake! (For Your Eyes Only – 1981) In Ice Castles she played Alexis Winston from Waverly, Iowa (in reality she was from Chicago, Illinois). She was an accomplished skater having won silver in the novice division of the 1974 Us Figure Skating Championship. She had a couple of kids after making movies such as Where the Boys Are ’84, Angel River and Alien Predators. “Johnson, who was described as “an appealing young woman who actually happens to be a good skater who can act” by film critic Roger Ebert, was nominated for a Golden Globe as “New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture – Female” for her performance in the film.” Like I say she was quite the saucy tart 40 years ago. She’s also a great example of the shifting tastes of various decades. 2020 is not 1978.
