  • Olympic Silver Medalist Frances Dafoe Dies at 86
    Olympic silver medalist Frances Dafoe dies at 86 Competitor, judge, designer had lifelong passion for sport of figure skating Posted 9/28/16 by Lois Elfman, special to icenetwork When her illustrious competitive career was over, Frances Dafoe became an accomplished costume designer. -courtesy of Skate Canada Archives Frances Dafoe, a two-time world pairs champion and Olympic silver medalist who went on to be a world and Olympic judge as well as a designer of some of the most iconic costumes in skating, died last Friday at the age of 86. Dafoe's life in skating crossed decades and touched nearly every corner of the sport. For her contributions, she was inducted into the Skate Canada Hall of Fame, Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame, Canada's Sports Hall of Fame and the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame. "True pioneers in their sport, Dafoe and [Norris] Bowden (Dafoe's pairs partner) brought figure skating to a new level of sophistication with their imaginative lifts and jumps," said Mario Siciliano, president and CEO of Canada's Sports Hall of Fame. Olympic pairs gold medalists Barbara Wagner and Bob Paul referred to Dafoe and Bowden as their mentors. Both teams trained with coach Sheldon Galbraith at the old Toronto Skating Club, and watching Dafoe and Bowden helped the younger pair mature. "Their presence and always verbally encouraging us made an impact," Paul said. "Frannie did all her own costumes and probably inspired my partner, who started designing costumes also. She and Norrie were our inspiration because they were the leaders." "We emulated them," Wagner said.

    MS DAFOE (Frances Helen) Papers Coll. 00049B Gift of Frances Helen Dafoe, 2016 Dates of creation: ca. 1860s-2013 [predominantly 1950-2013] Extent: 77 boxes (9.5 metres) Biographical note: Frances Helen Dafoe (1929-2016) was a costume designer and former Olympic figure skater. A former World Figure Staking champion, she won a silver medal (for pairs with partner Norris Bowden) at the 1956 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy. She was awarded the Order of Ontario in 1990 and the Order of Canada in 1991 in recognition of her contributions to costume design and sport in Canada. She is also a recipient of the Confederation medal and the Golden Jubilee medal. Dafoe was a graduate of Branksome Hall and Central Technical High School in Toronto, where one of her teachers was artist Doris McCarthy. She also attended Parsons School of Design in New York. After her retirement from professional figure skating, Dafoe worked a costume designer for the CBC, where she contributed to such television series and specials as "The Wayne and Shuster Show", "The Royal Canadian Air Farce", The NHL Awards, and various dance or figure-skating specials. She also designed the costumes for the closing ceremonies of the Olympic Winter Games in Calgary in 1988. A long-time collaborator with choreographer Alan Lund, Dafoe worked on stage productions at the Charlottetown Festival, as well as performances by the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and numerous figure skating productions featuring Kurt Browning, Elizabeth Manley, Brian Orser and Toller Cranston. Also a freelance designer, Dafoe has created costumes for many professional performers, dancers and figure skaters, including Karen Kain, Michael Burgess, Alan Thicke, Al Waxman, Sharon, Lois & Bram, Kristi Yamaguchi, Scott Hamilton, Elvis Stojko, Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Lloyd Eisler, Katarina Witt, Elizabeth Manley and Kurt Browning.
