Catherine Machado was a 2 time US National bronze medallist in 1955 and 56. Interestingly she was also the first Hispanic athlete to represent the USA on an Olympic team. After turning professional she won the 1958 World Professional event and skated with Ice Capades I believe. Whoever filmed this was evidently a fan as there are over 4 minutes of footage and in colour to boot.
Silent cinefilm footage
She was pretty amazing and still is...she was also put in the figureskating hall of fame like 5 years ago I think
