  • From the TV Special, "Esther Williams in Cypress Gardens" which aired in Living Color on NBC, Monday, August 8, 1960. Rare color video. This is a delightful musical sequence. Esther swings on a star with the Aqua Kids. Fernando sings Two Different Worlds with the kids. Esther and Fernando sing and dance to Small World.

    I am so excited to find this. My dad and aunt were both in this film. My Aunt has the bow in her hair and my dad the last tall blonde boy that dives in.

    Esther was a real star. Such commitment to her craft. And so artistic too. We do miss her.

    Did any star of her time attempt more, risk more and achieve more than the swim champ who spent two years telling Louis B Mayer that she could never learn to act? Her career is a shining example of persistence and resilience.

    To all of you bad mouthing Fernando Lamas... Remember that Esther admitted to telling lies about Jeff Chandler in her book, so who knows what else she embellished? Not saying Fernando is innocent, just saying don't judge because you might not know the truth.

      Esther Williams and Fernando Lamas married each other and he treated her like a piece of cr*p. A little feminism might have helped her out of that mess many years earlier. Read her autobiography, "Million Dollar Mermaid."

      @@yelloworangered I loved that book, still do, and it holds up. I also want to note that until the seventies many women had to get a signature from their husband before they can apply for a credit card or any loan. Feminism would have helped her keep her from being financially ruined by her ex Ben Gage as well.
