Starring Margot Robbie as Tonya
& Alison Janney as LaVona
Winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Figure skaters are supposed to be poised, graceful and delicate. Tonya Harding was none of these. Worse, being born on the ‘wrong side of the tracks’ she was forever deemed to lack that most important (but unspoken) expectation – class. What she possessed instead was formidable physical strength and an unwavering determination, at least partly motivated from fear of what her ambitious and abusive mother might do to her if she came home without winning. This is the blackly-comic story of her rise to glory, and the bizarre rivalry that made her notorious.
