With sports romances heating up pop culture with new shows like Heated Rivalry, we can’t help but remember some of the ones that paved the way, including 1978’s Ice Castles. The film told the emotional story of Lexie Winston, a gifted young figure skater whose Olympic dreams are derailed by a devastating accident, forcing her to rebuild her life. With the unforgettable theme song “Through the Eyes of Love,” the movie became a quiet box office success and a lasting cable and home-video favorite.
Nearly five decades later, it’s airing on MOVIES! on January 14, 2026, at 8pm EST. The film continues to draw in new viewers who discover it, and it begs the question: Where are the main cast members of Ice Castles today?
