Esther Williams

Underwater Queen Esther Williams died today at a very respectable 91 years old - probably swimming is healthy for you. Her (sometimes outrageous) aqua musicals were a whole new phenomenon back in the 1940's and no wonder she became a huge star. My favorite Esther Williams movie is "Million Dollar Mermaid" directed by Mervyn LeRoy, 1952. In this movie everything comes together and is over the top. Luckily in our video library we have dozens of Esther Williams Titles and I will watch some of those the coming days. Her autobiography (The million dollar mermaid) is worthwhile to read as well. It recalls her extra ordinary live and why she should be an inspiration for all of us.
