In her autobiography, legendary swimming and MGM star Esther Williams reveals what it was like to work at one of the premier studio's during Hollywood's Golden Era. She was one of the studio's most bankable leading ladies. An American beauty and swimming champ, she was hired at MGM in 1941 at age 18, and from then on starred in two or three thinly plotted swimming musicals a year, such as Neptune's Daughter, Million Dollar Mermaid, Easy to Love, and Take Me Out to the Ball Game.
