'Ice Princess' Is A Treasure Of 2000s Girlhood
HuffPost
The 2005 teen sports dramedy starring Michelle Trachtenberg helped millennial girls find the confidence they needed.
Once upon a time, a teen figure skater gathered all her courage to twirl, leap and arabesque across the ice. She was a vision in blue, and we will always remember her that way.
In Disney’s “Ice Princess,” Casey Carlyle (Michelle Trachtenberg) excels in academics and is working toward a spot at Harvard, but her formulas and equations gradually yield a different dream. Casey’s teacher encourages her to apply for a scholarship and submit a research project with a personal angle. She has a lightbulb moment when watching figure skating on TV with her friend, Ann (Amy Stewart).
“You know, I bet there is an exact aerodynamic formula,” Casey says. She analyzes movements of local competitive figure skaters and applies physics principles to help the skaters improve. Casey’s pastime of skating transforms into her greatest passion.
Tragically, Trachtenberg died in February, at the age of 39. The cause of death is undetermined, according to Variety.
Trachtenberg touched viewers’ lives with her work in “Ice Princess.” Yahoo! Entertainment interviewed figure skaters Ryan Dunk and Thita Lamsam about how the actor inspired them. Dunk and Lamsam each posted a heartfelt tribute skating to Aly & AJ’s “No One,” from the very first scene where Casey skates on the pond by her house.
