Synopsis
In this witty autobiography, Esther Williams, the most celebrated swimming star of Hollywood's Golden Age, recalls her entire career, explaining how her underwater athletics caught the eye of an MGM talent scout. Although she lacked acting experience and desired to pursue a modest career in women's clothing, MGM launched Williams into Hollywood fame, where she bumped elbows with numerous movie stars, including Clark Gable and Joan Crawford. In a candid voice, Williams relates her personal victories, disastrous marriages, and financial battles. She also shares entertaining anecdotes about unforgettable members of Hollywood's elite, like Lucille Ball and Lana Turner.

Publisher's Note
Esther Williams tells what it was like for an eighteen-year-old former swimming champion working at an exclusive Beverly Hills clothing store--and supporting her husband in medical school--to reluctantly answer the siren call of the most powerful movie studio in the world. We see her shed her early wide-eyed innocence as she matriculates at what she affectionately calls University MGM, that unique educational institution where reality was molded on screen and off, where degrees were earned in glamour and sex appeal, and where those who had a certain "something" were painstakingly manufactured into idols of popular culture. Whether speaking of her own marriages, divorces, and love affairs or telling tales about the legends of her studio era, Williams is acutely perceptive and always uncompromisingly honest. Like Esther Williams herself, MILLION DOLLAR MERMAID is fun, frank, and totally entertaining.

In a celebrity tell-all with fascinating insights and startling candor, the legendary swimming and movie star reveals what it was like to work with and be molded by the MGM studio during Hollywood's Golden Era. 16 pp of photos.

Industry Reviews
"THE MILLION DOLLAR MERMAID veers occasionally into melodrama and gives short shrift to Williams' subsequent career as a swimsuit tycoon and to her fourth (happy at last) marriage. But these are minor cavils. What adds immeasurably to the book's appeal is its lens on old Hollywood and old cafe society. There are appearances by Gardner, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Lucille Ball, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Joan Crawford and perennial girl next door June Allyson...."
Chicago Tribune - Joanne Kaufman (08/29/1999)

"Forthright and affably ribald, MERMAID details [Williams'] harrowing experiences (usually under the direction of Busby Berkeley) as a human commodity at MGM, where her intelligence navigating the choppy seas of stardom made her a true champion."
Winecoff

"[Williams] has written, with the help of Digby Diehl, this interesting and engaging account of her life, and of the Hollywood she knew."
Gottlieb

"Perhaps the book's most explosive story is its account of how Jeff Chandler, the silver-haired macho star with whom Miss Williams had a passionate affair in the late 1950s and who died in 1961, had a secret life as a cross-dresser."
Purdum

"[T]he very first chapter offers the unexpected sight of Esther Williams dropping acid. (For therapeutic purposes.) And the revelation that her boyfriend was a cross-dresser spurs her on to the tartest of kissoffs: 'Jeff you're too big for polka dots.' That's a nicely written line, which is exactly how a lot of dialogue in THE MILLION DOLLAR MERMAID sounds: nicely written."
Bayard
