While Gene Kelly danced and Judy Garland sang, Esther Williams swam into the heart of America with her dazzling smile, stunning aquabatics, and wholesome appeal. Hand-picked for stardom by movie mogul Louis B. Mayer, Esther shed her wide-eyed innocence at what she affectionately calls University MGM, a unique educational institution where sex appeal and glamour were taught, a school where idols were born.\u003cp\u003eOnce a national swimming champion and struggling salesgirl, overnight she became one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. And though fame came quickly, Esther's personal life was often less than joyous. Through troubled marriages, cross-dressing lovers, financial bankruptcy, she shares the ups and downs of her extraordinary career in The Million Dollar Mermaid, a wildly entertaining behind-the-scenes account of one of Tinseltown's classic dream factories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Million Dollar Mermaid: An Autobiography | Esther Williams | Hardcover | 9780684852843 | Used: Good | 1784932","offer_id":67623920664728,"sku":"1784932","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/913nDPNSTLL.jpg?v=1790969556","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/million-dollar-mermaid-an-autobiography","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
