Esther Williams was a champion swimmer who went on to star in several swimming-themed movies in the 1940s and 1950s. As a young girl, Williams loved swimming, so she worked at her local pool to earn free pool time. She won several national swimming events and hoped to compete at the 1940 Summer Olympic Games. Unfortunately, World War II began, which resulted in the Olympics being canceled that year. Around the same time, MGM movie studio was hoping for box-office success with a new kind of film: swimming musicals featuring elaborate water ballets and gravity-defying stunts. A talent scout from MGM discovered Williams, and thus her big-screen career began. Williams came to be known as "America's Mermaid" and helped to get synchronized swimming recognized as an Olympic event.
