Another Lively Senior: Esther Williams is 88 Today!

Esther Williams is 88 today! So, if you can recall her pin-up days in the 40s and her movies with the likes of Mickey Rooney and Van Johnson, you just might be a senior now!

Unique to Esther Williams is the fact that she was a champion swimmer. She was slated to participate in the 1940 Summer Olympics but they were canceled because of WWII.

Some of her movies that come to mind are Andy Hardy's Double Life ((1942), Dangerous When Wet (1953) and That's Entertainment (1953).

She has been married four times and her third husband was the late Fernando Lamas.

I was interested to see that she still has a swimwear line and you can take a look at how she looks today, the swimsuits you can purchase, and lots of memorabilia at her website which even has a track of her singing.
