In this witty autobiography, Esther Williams, the most celebrated swimming star of Hollywood's Golden Age, recalls her entire career, explaining how her underwater athletics caught the eye of an MGM talent scout.

In a candid voice, Williams relates her personal victories, disastrous marriages, and financial battles. She also shares entertaining anecdotes about unforgettable members of Hollywood's elite, like Lucille Ball and Lana Turner. AUTHOR: Digby Diehl, Esther Williams
