Tonya Harding Would Like Her Apology Now
Mr. Rogers, who wrote the 2015 movie “Love the Coopers,” asked her agent for the option to her story
— her whole story — for $1,500, with more if the film actually got made and recouped its costs.
as a skater and a coach should leave her open to professional skating — say like in an exhibition or the Ice Capades —
but “because everything is owned by the association,” she said, there are very few corners of it in which she can still meaningfully participate.
The story is told in the tone in which Ms. Harding speaks, and there are scenes in it you’ve seen a hundred times before in Lifetime movies: a young girl being hit by her mother, a young wife being hit by her husband —
that aren’t portrayed as tragic as much as a particular kind of wide-eyed Oregon gothic.
(Ice Skating Australia told that it had no record of contact with Ms.
“They loved me but America didn’t and I still said I’m sorry but I’m only going to represent my country.
In the movie, “I, Tonya,” the disgraced figure skater looks back on the 1994 Nancy Kerrigan scandal and her struggles to tell her side of the story.
The song “Low” came on and she said, “I love this song!”
and hopped out onto the ice while Ms. Manary shimmied her shoulders to the music from behind the plexiglass.
She and her husband would spend hours hunting together, just as she used to do with her beloved father — Mr. Price with a muzzleloader
and Ms. Harding with a bow and arrow because she wanted “to give the animal a 50-50 chance to make it interesting and fair” (and also because felons aren’t technically supposed to possess guns in Washington State).
