This review is from: Dorothy Hamill (Sports Immortals) (Library Binding)

i have to say that the book is pretty good. it tells you alot, the highlights of her career, where she was born,the hair cut which made her popular, the romeo's in her life, and the things she went through to achieve the success as a skater. it also talks about the ice capades, i never heard about that before, but i guess it must be those ice shows they did in the 70's and 80's. she is 5'3 inches tall, the book contains pictures. the book is well written, she has had up and downs, but the thing for me is touching. she is the lady who did the vioxx commercial in where she is skating and a little girl with blue eyes stares at her-admiring the ability and the olympian. she also did (when i was little if i remember correctly) a maxwell house commercial sipping coffee, she has done other things. good book! for the most part a big majority of these ice ladies have really nice bodies, oh man!
