Actually, this … Actually, this amazing sequence was staged by John Murray Anderson, a Newfoundlander whom the New York Times dubbed “uncle broadway”. Esther Williams is brilliant.
I highly recommend … I highly recommend Esther’s autobiography, very juicy, she really tells all. She describes this sequence at great length. She had to be covered from head to toe with vaseline every day so the makeup would stay on, and her wigs were incredibly painful.
