Short description
Competitive ice skater Tonya Harding rises amongst the ranks at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, but her future in the sport is thrown into doubt when her ex-husband intervenes.
What's left behind the scenes
- Margot Robbie plays in an amateur hockey league, but before working on the role of figure skater Tonya Harding, she didn't have much experience skating.
- Figure skater Sarah Kawahara trained actress Margot Robbie for the role.
- Allison Janney dreamed of becoming a figure skater as a child and trained seriously. However, at the age of seventeen, she accidentally crashed into sliding glass doors, injuring her right leg. Due to the injury, Janney spent about 8 weeks in the hospital and missed her first semester of college. After the incident, she didn't skate for many years.
- Screenwriter Steven Rogers is an old friend of Allison Janney. He wrote the role of LaVona Golden specifically for her. Previously, Rogers had written roles several times, hoping Janney would play them, but they went to other actresses.
- The real Tonya Harding participated in the project as a consultant.
- Despite all the training, Margot Robbie was unable to perform a triple axel on her own, a move Tonya Harding was known for. But, generally speaking, very few people in the world are capable of performing such a trick, and they are usually professional athletes. For the film, this scene was created using computer graphics.
- When Tonya Harding herself watched the film, she especially liked that it included a moment where she tells one of the characters to suck it. Harding told Margot Robbie that she would have liked to have actually said that phrase in real life under those circumstances.
- To avoid damaging Margot Robbie's hair, she wore wigs while playing Tonya Harding.
- Allison Janney is not a big bird lover. The actress found it difficult to get used to having a bird perched on her shoulder in many scenes. The filmmakers spent a long time choosing from three birds before settling on the least active one.
- The entire film was shot in 30 days.
- Nancy Kerrigan's ice skating routine in the film was choreographed by Canadian figure skater Sarah Kawahara. She also helped Margot Robbie prepare for the role.
- Margot Robbie is 12 cm taller than Tonya Harding.
- Steven Rogers' screenplay ended up on the so-called "Black List" of 2016 — a list of the most promising, but unrealized films.
- Margot Robbie is part of an amateur hockey league, but before working on her role as figure skater Tonya Harding, she had very little experience skating.
- Steven Rogers' screenplay made it onto the 2016 'Black List'—a list of the most promising but unproduced films.
- Actress Margot Robbie was trained for the role by figure skater Sarah Kawahara.
- As a child, Allison Janney wanted to be a figure skater and trained seriously. However, at the age of seventeen, she injured her right leg after accidentally crashing into sliding glass doors. Due to the injury, Janney spent about eight weeks in the hospital and missed her first college semester. She did not skate again for many years after the incident.
- Screenwriter Steven Rogers is an old friend of Allison Janney. He wrote the role of LaVona Golden specifically for her. Rogers had previously written several roles with Janney in mind, but they had gone to other actresses.
- Margot Robbie was unable to perform a triple axel on her own, so all scenes featuring the jump were created using computer graphics. A stunt double for the jump could not be found either, as such a complex element is only within the capability of the world's top athletes, most of whom would not risk their health for a movie.
- When Tonya Harding watched the film herself, she especially liked that it included the moment where she tells one of the characters that he can blow her. Harding told Margot Robbie that in real life, under those circumstances, she wished she had actually said that phrase.
- To avoid damaging her hair, Margot Robbie wore wigs while playing Tonya Harding.
- Allison Janney is not exactly a big fan of birds. The actress found it difficult to get used to having a bird sitting on her shoulder in many scenes. The filmmakers spent a long time choosing from three birds until they settled on the least active one.
- Nancy Kerrigan's ice dance in the film was choreographed by Canadian figure skater Sarah Kawahara, who also helped Margot Robbie prepare for the role.
