Wow! I'm... Wow! But how did she get her skis back? :)

@catwomanpl1 I think the cool thing about extravaganza on screen is they make we think it's all in one take but in fact, there are several, taken many times :)

Esther was actually pregnant when she did this. Her director actually wanted her to dive from the helicopter, but she said no. Instead she had her old friend do it. Clever shooting, isn't it? It really looks like Esther did the dive. :)

I love swimming and mermaids more than anything else as well as a love for adventure. My name is Esther, and my mum's maiden name was Williams. I think thats a sign. She's beautiful, and maybe I can be as beautiful and amazing as her some day.. Love you Esther! x

didnt want to harm the baby? it wouldve been unsurprising for ester to have the baby during the dive, MGM style, come up out of the water with the kid on skis, lookin like van johnson!

in her autobiography, Esther Williams said that the only thing that she didn't do in this number was dive from the helicopter. Under normal circumstances she probably would have, but she was pregnant at the time and didn't want to harm the baby.

I remember seeing this years ago. I'm glad to find it again.

@turinethefool I know, but, just the same, it's a bit funny. When you watch it closely, of course...
