A gold medal win in figure skating at the 1948 Olympics was the crowning achievement of Barbara Ann Scott (born 1928) and further heightened her national and international celebrity status. With her feminine style and elegance, “Canada’s Darling,” captured here as a seventeen-year old by Karsh, was presented as a role model for Canadian women during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
