Summertime With Esther Williams
Next month is the centennial of the birth of Esther Williams, who was born in Inglewood, California, on August 8, 1921.
In celebration of that upcoming event, here's a collection of photos of the MGM swimming star which I feel really capture the joy of being in the water during summertime. Enjoy!

Esther was a great favorite in this house, with beauty, humor, athleticism, and a better actress than one might think.
I agree with all you say about Esther! I'm glad to know we share an appreciation for her. :)
Best wishes,
Laura
