Synopsis
'The Original Million Dollar Mermaid' tells the story of Annette Kellerman, who started swimming to overcome a childhood illness, and went on to become an international swimming sensation, and a Hollywood star. She is one of the unsung Australian heroines., The extraordinary story of Annette Kellerman, who started swimming to overcome a childhood illness and went on to become an international swimming sensation and a Hollywood star. The original Million Dollar Mermaid, she is one of the great unsung Australian heroines. In the early twentieth century, a young Australian woman became one of the highest paid and most adored Hollywood and vaudeville stars of the day. Her name was Annette Kellerman. Born into a musical family in suburban Sydney in 1886, Annette's first love was performing. Yet when she took up swimming to overcome a childhood illness, she quickly found herself breaking records and beating the boys and loving it. When the Depression hit, Annette and her father headed for England to seek their fortune. It was to be the start of a dazzling international career. After winning over Londoners with her death-defying swims in the Thames and the English Channel, she was soon wowing them at the Palladium with her trademark vaudeville act: a performance that included diving into a giant glass tank where she captivated the crowds with her graceful and athletic underwater ballet. Hollywood beckoned and Annette quickly became the darling of the silent film era, starring in the first-ever million-dollar film, Daughter of the Gods . She was soon a household name; dubbed 'The Perfect Woman', crowds queued for blocks to see her on the screen, men flocked to catch a glimpse her provocative costumes or lack thereof-and women thronged to hear her views on health and fitness. Annette's life was often controversial but always exhilarating, and was immortalised in the 1950s Esther Williams classic The Million Dollar Mermaid . Yet she was to end her days alone and penniless on Queensland's Gold Coast, selling her old fur coat to pay the bills. Strong minded and fiercely brave, Annette Kellerman high-dived onto the international stage, challenging preconceptions of how women should look, act and think, and capturing the hearts of a generation. Here, for the first time ever, is her extraordinary story., The story of Annette Kellerman, who started swimming to overcome a childhood illness and went on to become an international swimming sensation and a Hollywood star. The original Million Dollar Mermaid, she is one of the great unsung Australian heroines., The extraordinary story of Annette Kellerman, who started swimming to overcome a childhood illness and went on to become an international swimming sensation and a Hollywood star.
