Name: Lynn-Holly Johnson

Born: December 13, 1958 in Chicago, Illinois

Claim To Fame: For me when I hear her name, I instantly think of the movie 'Ice Castles.' Boy do I love that movie and who can forget the scene with the roses?

Family Life: Kelly Givens (1993 - present) two children

Info: Lynn-Holly was a professional ice skater (in the Ice Capades) when Hollywood came knocking. She used her skating skills in a couple of roles.

Trivia: She refused to do a nude scene in 'Ice Castles.' The producers kept trying to write a nude scene in the movie for her, but she walked off the set and halted production for a day rather than appear nude. Lynn-Holly admitted in an interview that it tickles her that after all these years, people come up to her and tell her how great a family movie this is, and she thinks, "you have no idea!"

She has appeared a few James Bond conventions and it's amazing... she looks he same!
