I agree - I was looking for the best videos of Esther, on this, the day of her passing, (RIP, beautiful lady) and I found this. Great job. She was truly my favorite female movies star when I was growing up in the 50's, (and Gene Kelly was my favorite male). Movies back then were so entertaining and "escapist". I'm glad we can still catch them on TCM. Thanks again for putting this video together!
I remember a news channel playing a short clip of this beautiful tribute when Esther Williams had just passed away; I had never heard of her before, and the combination of the music, the wonderful imagery, and the sadness of finding about someone "too late" made me really sad. What an amazing life she lead though.
My mom loved swimming & spoke to me many times about the enchanting Esther Williams. When old movies became available on video I watched - and grew to love - Esther Williams too. And as someone else here mentioned, her life story is a good read. RIP lovely lady.
This is by far the Best Tribute to the Great One and Only Esther Williams. Esther was one of a kind and we will never see the likes of her again. I hope she views this beautiful montage of her as i know she will be greatly pleased. poeticjustice2345 Job well done ! Bravo.
My Mother loved Esther Williams, so I did too. What a lovely little montage. The music is basically Star Trek II, slightly rejigged for Krull but that's okay. A great sequence and thank you for posting.
Ever since I can remember I was a fan of beautiful & athletic Esther Williams, watching her movies on rainy Sunday afternoons in front of the TV, always cheering me up, taking me away into a better more beautiful world, the dreamworld of Hollywood's glorious days when stars were really outstanding. This compilation is super, thanks so much for posting.
What a perfect tribute to a wonderful lady... I loved it.. Many thanks for taking the time to make and post this fabulous homage to Ester Williams.. RIP dear lady .. :)0x
this why l did Synchronized Swimming as a teenager. l loved it. It was hard work but so much fun. thankyou Esther Williams for the many happy days, months and years
For sure. Coen Brothers make great films. Didn't know anything of Esther Williams but just saw G Clooney reference her when talking about S Johanssen's part in interview about Hail Caesar.
In her autobiography she revealed how dangerous some of her aquatic dives were. In particular the dive when she was in a heavy sequined golden suit with spiked crown, no one took the crown into consideration when she took a high dive to the bottom, the crown hit and she could have broke her neck, as it was she was laid up for months with a 'snapped' neck. It's a very interesting read, I recommend finding it , you won't be disappointed if you like celebrity reads. (@ :47)
I JUST realized that Esther Williams was the inspiration for that scene in The Great Muppet Caper where Miss Piggy is daydreaming on the runway. Wow... good parody!
R.I.P She was the princess of water. Beautiful live.
RIP Miss Williams. You were an inspiration. Just keep swimming..

Justiça à grande Ester! Simplesmente incrível!
Que maravilla. Hermosa película
Gracias
Por compartir. Bendiciones.
Jackass 2: the movie introduced me to Esther Williams. It's kind of a weird place to find out of such beauty, but hey I'm glad I got to see this.
I love Esther Williams! I wish I could do all of that but I'm afraid of heights.
Esther Williams was my favorite when i was a girl and I think she still is. She is so beautiful!
What a beauty! I love the classic and glamurous beauty of the golden age. Esther Willaims, Marilyn Monroe, Ginger Rogers to just name a few.
Yeah - this really is terrific. I'm posting a link to this in my blog.
I' 70and I'e always wanted to be Ester Williams, sigh.
She's fabulous
She still drives me crazy... although she could be a granny to me. Fearless, sexy... just the best.
Hail, Caesar! brought me here
+seamac206 and me!
+ken mackerel great film
For sure. Coen Brothers make great films. Didn't know anything of Esther Williams but just saw G Clooney reference her when talking about S Johanssen's part in interview about Hail Caesar.
Same here! It got me interested in water ballets
me too!
Mermaids: is there anything they can't do
I missed these movies!I can remember myself as a girl on my bed pretending to be a swimmer like Esther!
Katya Zamolodchikova
How did I never know she was the inspiration for the Go Go's Vacation?!
Rest in peace you beautiful angle with so much talent you lived an amazing life will always love you
Awe, so lovely. Never such "camp" beauty again. Days gone bye....
Always loved the "TOM AND JERRY" bit when I was a kid. That was WAY BEFORE Rodger Rabbit !
In her autobiography she revealed how dangerous some of her aquatic dives were. In particular the dive when she was in a heavy sequined golden suit with spiked crown, no one took the crown into consideration when she took a high dive to the bottom, the crown hit and she could have broke her neck, as it was she was laid up for months with a 'snapped' neck. It's a very interesting read, I recommend finding it , you won't be disappointed if you like celebrity reads. (@ :47)
brilliant!

Her legacy will live on
Perfection 💙
