QUEEN OF THE POOL, DIES AT THE AGE OF 91, STEP MOM TO LORENZO LAMAS

ESTHER WILLIAMS, Queen of the Swimming films has died at the age of 91
She passed away in her sleep at her home in Californina.

Esther Williams was born on August 8,1921 in Inglewood,California
She was one of five children.

She starred in many Hollywood films, but before going to Hollywood she was all set
to become an Olympic champion in the pool, but the 1944 games were cancelled
due to World War II.

In Hollywood, Esther starred in many films among them "Million Dollar Mermaid"
in which she portrayed Annette Kellerman, who invented the "Austrailian Crawl"

She was the second wife of Fernando Lamas~ the actor who BillyCrystal used as
the basis for his "You look marvhalous" skit on Saturday Night Live.

Esther, taught Fernando's son Fernando Jr. how to swim in the family pool!
How many kids can say they had The Queen of the Pool  teach them how to swim??
And also his children, William's even did a video of how to teach kids how to swim.

She had stopped making films when she married Lamas.
Fernando Lamas, passed in 1982.
