In the ‘30s, Esther Williams had been a swimming prodigy with three US national championships to her name. She did not get the chance to join the Olympics due to the war, so she worked in Hollywood instead. She starred in a number of “aquamusicals” that put her athletic prowess on the forefront. She also dabbled in more serious roles. In 2013, she died at the age of 91.
