I am surprised that there has been no mention of the death of Esther Williams at the age of 91.
Maybe there aren't many over 65's in here who remember this great MGM swimming star.
Her greatest film was Million Dollar Mermaid, aka The One Piece Bathing Suit.
When That's Entertainment was released in 1975, Esther's spectacular swimming scenes had the audiences clapping and cheering, they really were incredible.
She was a big part of my childhood, and I am sad to see the passing of yet another of the few remaining movie legends from that Golden Age.

Anyway, RIP Mermaid.
That was one that I missed, because I detest baseball, and also, because she didn't swim!
As Fanny Brice the original Funny Girl once commented about Esther, "Wet she's a Star, dry she ain't"
I read her autobiography last year, very interesting and certainly revealing about all the advances and bed-hopping that was going on in the classic hollywood days.
There are some wonderful clips from her best films on YouTube entitled, Esther Williams: Princess Mermaid.
