MEMORIES OF ESTHER

THE WONDERFUL 
MISS WILLIAMS
for anyone who missed the lovely
esther williams when she was
starring in aquatic adventures on
the silvery screen of the 50's,
here she is in all her glory.
I remember her on saturday
afternoon TV,  always perfectly
quaffed as she emerged sparkling
from the water, often surrounded
by a busby berkeley kaleidoscope
of similarly glam waterbabies.

this swimsuit (left) is spookily like
my print 'pattie's two piece' worn
by janet goldman's mum in the 40's.
could esther have been a copycat
from ballarat?

HER CO-STARS were many and varied

lo resolution but look at those buffed waterboys

equally at home on water,
skin, or snow, 

and with just a touch
of the 
marvellous 
mazza monroe

born in the same year as my own mum, 1921, esther was still
looking good in later years, just look at that hairline :o)
