​Esther Williams – Easy To Love, 1953

Esther Williams, a celebrated figure in the United States, was not only a competitive swimmer but also an accomplished actress. Williams is forever etched in history as the enchanting star who elevated swimming to an art form. Her legacy shines particularly bright through her iconic film “Million Dollar Mermaid,” inspired by the Australian aquatic sensation Annette Kellerman. This movie stands as the ultimate platform to showcase Esther’s extraordinary aquatic talents.

One of her notable works, “Easy to Love,” unfolds as a technicolor musical film under the direction of Charles Walters. With choreography by Busby Berkeley, the film stars Williams alongside Van Johnson and Tony Martin. It stands as Williams’ final aquatic-themed film set within the United States. Notably, her retro look, adorned in a white swimsuit, accentuates her exceptional beauty and adds to the allure of the film.
