According to Life magazine, "Spectators who crowd the walls around Rockefeller Center's sunken skating rink are more easily moved by pratfalls than by pirouettes. Lately, however, this critical audience has been applauding the remarkable efforts of 3-year-old Helen Ann Rousselle." The image above ran in the story and shows Helen Ann flying through the air with the help of professional skaters Muriel Pack and Skippy Baxter. The photo was part of the cover story of the January 15, 1950 issue of Life.
