STILL BREATHLESS It has been more than 40 years
since Esther Williams first became everybody's favorite
bathing beauty in her water-based musicals, but recently
some of those movies, including Dangerous When Wet (1953),
Million Dollar Mermaid (1952), and Neptune's Daughter
(1949), have come up for air on
video (MGM/UA; $19.98-$29.98
each). Williams (right), who hasn't
made a film in 29 years, attributes
her new success on cassette to cu-
riosity. "People don't get to see live
water shows anymore," she says.
But the wet one, 67, notes that her
legacy lives on in the sports world.
"Synchronized swimming" was
born out of my movies. The moth-
ers and coaches of today's cham-
pions were my fans. They didn't
want to swim fast; they wanted to
swim pretty, and they created a
sport that's more difficult than
gymnastics, because you can't
breathe under there."
