Williams set multiple national and regional swimming records in her late teens as part of the Los Angeles Athletic Clubswim team. Unable to compete in the 1940 Summer Olympics because of the outbreak of World War II, she joined Billy Rose's Aquacade, where she took on the role vacated by Eleanor Holm after the show's move from New York City to San Francisco. While in the city, she spent five months swimming alongside Olympic gold medal winner and Tarzanstar, Johnny Weissmuller.[1] Williams caught the attention of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer scouts at the Aquacade. After appearing in several small roles, alongside Mickey Rooney in an Andy Hardy film, and future five-time co-star Van Johnson in A Guy Named Joe, Williams made a series of films in the 1940s and early 1950s known as "aquamusicals," which featured elaborate performances with synchronised swimming and diving. From 1945 to 1949, Williams had at least one film listed among the 20 highest-grossing films of the year.[2][3][4][5][6] In 1952, Williams appeared in her only biographical role, as Australian swimming star Annette Kellerman in Million Dollar Mermaid, which went on to become her nickname while at MGM.[7] Williams left MGM in 1956 and appeared in a handful of unsuccessful feature films, followed by several extremely popular water-themed network television specials, including one from Cypress Gardens, Florida. Williams was also a successful businesswoman. Even before retiring as an actress, she invested in a "service station, a metal products plant, a manufacturer of bathing suits, various properties and a successful restaurant chain known as Trails."[8] She lent her name to a line of swimming pools and retro swimwear, instructional swimming videos for children, and served as a commentator for synchronized swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

The two lived on neighboring farms in Kansas and carried on a nine-year courtship until June 1, 1908, when they eloped and set off for California. However, they ran out of money in Salt Lake City, Utah, and settled there. Esther's brother, Stanton (September 4, 1912 – March 3, 1929) was discovered by actress Marjorie Rambeau, which led to the family (including sisters Maurine and June and brother David) moving to the Los Angeles area to be near the studios. Louis Williams purchased a small piece of land in the southwest area of town, and had a small house built there. Esther was born in the living room, which was also where the family slept, until Louis Williams was able to add bedrooms. In 1929, Stanton Williams died after his colon burst.[12] In 1935, Bula Myrtle Williams invited 16-year-old Buddy McClure to live with her family. McClure had recently lost his mother and Bula was still grieving over the death of her son. Esther recounted in her autobiography that one night, when the rest of the family was visiting relatives in Alhambra, McClure raped her. She was terrified to tell anyone about the incident and waited two years before finally revealing the truth to her parents. Williams' mother seemed unsure about her story, claiming McClure was "sensitive" and was sympathetic towards him when he admitted his guilt. Bula Williams then banished him from her home, McClure joined the United States Coast Guard, and Williams never saw him again.[13] Career[edit] Competitive swimming[edit] Williams at the L.A. Athletic Club in 1939. Williams was enthusiastic about swimming in her youth. Her older sister, Maurine, took her to Manhattan Beach and to the local pool. She took a job counting towels at the pool to pay the five cent entry fee, and while there, had swimming lessons from the male lifeguards. From them, she learned the 'male only' swimming strokes, including the butterfly, with which she would later break records.[14] Her medley team set the record for the 300-yard relay at the Los Angeles Athletic Club in 1939,[15] and was also National AAU champion in the 100 meter freestyle, with a record-breaking time of 1 minute 09.0 seconds.[16] By age 16, Williams had won three US national championships in breaststroke and freestyle swimming.[17] Williams graduated from Washington High School (now known as Washington Preparatory High School) in Los Angeles, 1939, where she served as class Vice President, and later President.[18][19][20] However, Williams never trained in swimming while there.[21] During her senior year of high school, Williams received a D in her algebra course, preventing her from getting a scholarship to the University of Southern California.[22] She enrolled in Los Angeles City College to retake the course. In 1939, Williams expressed interest in pursuing a degree in physical education in order to teach it one day.[21] To earn money for tuition, Williams worked as a stock girl at the I. Magnin department store, where she also modeled clothing for customers and appeared in newspaper advertisements.[23] While Williams was working at I. Magnin, she was contacted by Billy Rose's assistant and asked to audition as a replacement for Eleanor Holm in his Aquacadeshow. Williams impressed Rose and she got the role.[1][24] The Aquacade was part of the Golden Gate International Exposition, and Williams was partnered with Olympic swimmer and Tarzan star Johnny Weissmuller,[25] who, Williams wrote in her autobiography, repeatedly tried to seduce her. Despite this, Williams remained with the show until it closed on September 29, 1940.[26] Williams had planned to compete in the 1940 Summer Olympics but it was cancelled because of the outbreak of World War II. Acting[edit] It was at Aquacade that Williams first attracted attention from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer scouts. MGM's head, Louis B. Mayer, had been looking for a female sports star for the studio to compete with Fox's figure skating star, Sonja Henie.[27] Williams signed her contract with MGM in 1941. [28] In her contract were two clauses: the first being that she receive a guest pass to The Beverly Hills Hotel where she could swim in the pool every day, and the second that she would not appear on camera for nine months to allow for acting, singing, dancing, and diction lessons. Williams wrote in her autobiography, "If it took nine months for a baby to be born, I figured my 'birth' from Esther Williams the swimmer to Esther Williams the movie actress would not be much different."[29] A pin-up of Williams from a 1945 issue of Yank, the Army Weekly While top stars at the studios such as Judy Garland, Betty Grable, and Shirley Temple took part in bond tours during the war, Williams was asked to take in hospital tours. At this point, Williams had achieved pin-up status because of the number of photographs of her in bathing suits.[30] To prepare, Williams and her publicity assistant would listen to Bob Hope and Jack Benny's radio programs, retelling the funniest jokes while at the hospitals. Williams also invited GIs to dance with her on stage and take part in mock screen tests. The men would receive a card telling them their lines, and they would act out the scene in front of the other soldiers. These tests were always romantic scenes and included Williams begging the men to have sex with her character, to which they were required to refuse ... multiple times. When the men said the final, "No", Williams would pull at her tear-away skirt and sweater leaving nothing but a gold lamé swimsuit. The scenes would always end with the men giving in and kissing her after that stunt.[31] Her hospital tours continued into the 1950s.[32][33] A (forged) signed, waterproof portrait of Williams was circulated among men in the United States Navy for a "capture the Esther" competition.[18] This competition continues to this day in the Royal Australian Navy, which holds in its archives an "original" forged signed portrait while maintaining a "capturable" image for use in the fleet. 1940s[edit] Three weeks after signing her contract, George Sidney directed Williams' first screen test. The studio was impressed, and when Lana Turner eloped with Artie Shaw, Williams screen tested with the leading man Clark Gable, for the film Somewhere I'll Find You.[34] However, Turner divorced Shaw after four months of marriage, and rejoined the film.[35] Following several short subject films, Williams appeared as Sheila Brooks in Andy Hardy's Double Life. Sheila was a coed with whom Andy falls in love.[36][37] Next was a small part in the film A Guy Named Joe, starring Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne. It was here she first worked with Van Johnson, with whom she would partner in five films.[38] Bathing Beauty, previously titled Mr. Coed, starred Red Skelton as a man who enrolls in a women's college to win back his swimming instructor fiancée, played by Williams. This was her first Technicolor musical. The studio changed the title of the film to showcase Williams. Almost all of the film's posters featured Williams in a bathing suit, though the swimming sequences make up a small portion of the film. Her date to the premiere at the Astor Theater in New York City was future husband Ben Gage. For the event, MGM publicity set up a six-story-tall billboard of Williams diving into Times Square with a large sign that said "Come on in! The story's fine!"[39] Williams, Van Johnson and Carleton G. Young in Thrill of a Romance Williams appeared in the film Ziegfeld Follies as herself. This was followed by the musical Thrill of a Romance. Van Johnson co-starred as a decorated war veteran who falls in love with Williams while on her honeymoon. Thrill of a Romance was the 8th highest-grossing film of 1945.[2] Williams had to help Johnson swim, and she placed her hand under his back to keep him afloat. The studio's publicity department tried to put the two together in public as much as possible in the hopes of encouraging a romance, even though Williams was involved with Gage at the time. When asked why they didn't date, Johnson replied, "because I'm afraid she can't get her webbed feet into a pair of evening sandals."[40] Williams tried a more serious role in The Hoodlum Saint (1946), with William Powell. Audiences expected Powell's Nick Charles persona and rejected the idea of a romance between Williams and Powell onscreen.[41] She also appeared in Easy to Wed, a remake of 1936's Libeled Lady, with Johnson and Lucille Ball. Williams as Maria in Fiesta (1947) Fiesta (originally called Fiesta Brava)[42] starred Williams as Ricardo Montalbán's twin sister, Maria, who pretends to be her bullfighting brother in hopes of luring him back home. Audiences, and Williams, thought the film was silly, as Williams and Montalbán had vastly different accents. Montalbán was born in Mexico and was a native Spanish speaker while Williams had a mid-western accent picked up from her Kansas-born parents. Production was difficult with a multitude of problems. By 1947, Gage and Williams were married. Gage had traveled to Mexico for the making of the film. He got into a fight with an employee of the cast's hotel, was arrested, and subsequently thrown out of the country.[43]The director of photography, Sidney Wagner, and one other crew member died of cholera from eating contaminated street food. Many of the film's stuntmen were sent to the hospital after being gored by bulls. Director Dick Thorpe hadn't wanted the bulls killed (as they usually were at the end of a bullfight) because he believed them to be too expensive to replace.[44] After filming was completed on Fiesta, Williams appeared in the romance This Time for Keeps (1947) with singer Johnnie Johnston. In 1948, Williams signed a contract with swimwear company Cole of California to appear as their spokesperson, and Williams and the other swimmers in her films wore Cole swimsuits. Since the aqua-musicals were an entirely new genre, the studio's costume designers had little experience creating practical swimsuits.[45] William's plaid flannel swimsuit for This Time for Keeps was so heavy that she was dragged to the bottom of the pool, and had to unzip the suit, swimming naked to the edge of the pool to avoid drowning. Cole swimsuits used latex, which meant zippers were no longer necessary. While filming Skirts Ahoy(1952), Williams discovered that members of the WAVES program received thin, cotton, shapeless swimsuits as part of their uniforms. Williams modeled a Cole swimsuit for the Secretary of the Navy and explained that the new swimsuits helped support women's figures. The United States Navy ordered 50,000 suits immediately.[46] Filming Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949) was, according to Williams in her autobiography, an experience of "pure misery". A period musical starring Gene Kellyand Frank Sinatra, the two male leads character's were players in a baseball team owned by K.C. Higgins, Williams's role. She claimed that Kelly and co-writer Stanley Donen treated her with contempt and went out of their way to make jokes at her expense. The film was well-received critically and became a major commercial success, raking in $3.4 million in rentals and becoming the 11th highest earning film of the year.[6] Williams made Neptune's Daughter (also 1949) around the same time with co-stars Ricardo Montalbán, Red Skelton and Betty Garrett, who had also been in Take Me Out to the Ball Game. [47] In the film, Williams sings "Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Montalbán. The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 22nd Academy Awards. Williams and Montalbán were originally slated to sing "(I'd Like to Get You on a) Slow Boat to China", but studio censors thought the song was too sexual (interpreting the word "get" as "have") and instead gave them "Baby, It's Cold Outside."[48] Neptune's Daughter became the 10th highest-grossing film of 1949.[6] 1950s[edit] Williams as Annette Kellermann in Million Dollar Mermaid Williams made Duchess of Idaho (1950), shot on location in Sun Valley, Idaho, co-starring Van Johnson.[49] MGM paired her with Howard Keel for two films, Pagan Love Song (also 1950) and later Jupiter's Darling (1955). They both had cameos in the film Callaway Went Thataway (1951).[50] In Million Dollar Mermaid (1952), Williams portrayed Annette Kellermann, a real-life Australian swimming and diving star. Williams co-starred with Victor Mature, who played Kellermann's husband and manager, James Sullivan. The two engaged in a passionate affair during filming. Williams often called this her favorite film, and named her autobiography after it.[51]Williams also won the Henrietta Award at the 1952 Golden Globes, for World Film Favorite – Female.[52] Easy to Love(1953), also with Van Johnson, was filmed on location in Cypress Gardens, where a swimming pool in the shape of the state of Florida had been built specifically for the film. Williams was pregnant during shooting, but still performed all her own waterskiing stunts.[53] In Dangerous When Wet (also 1953), Williams worked with three important males – Tom and Jerry and future husband Fernando Lamas. During casting, Lamas told Williams he did not want to star in the film with her because he only wanted to be involved in "important pictures". His part had to be rewritten to persuade him to take part in the film.[citation needed] In 1953, Williams had been on maternity leave for three months while pregnant with daughter Susan, and assumed she would go straight to work on the film Athenawhen she returned.[54] However, production started without her, and the studio cast Jane Powell in the lead role,[55] rewriting much of the premise that Williams and writers Leo Pogostin and Chuck Walters had come up with. The studio moved her to Jupiter's Darling. Two more films were planned, Bermuda Encounter and Olympic Venus, about the first Olympic swimmers; however, these were never made.[56][57][58] Many of her MGM films, such as Million Dollar Mermaid and Jupiter's Darling, contained elaborately staged synchronized swimming scenes, with considerable risk to Williams. She broke her neck filming a 115 ft dive off a tower during a climactic musical number for the film Million Dollar Mermaid and was in a body cast for seven months. She subsequently recovered, although she continued to suffer headaches as a result of the accident. Her many hours spent submerged in a studio tank resulted in ruptured eardrums numerous times. She also nearly drowned after not being able to find the trapdoor in the ceiling of a tank. The walls and ceiling were painted black and the trapdoor blended in. Williams was pulled out only because a member of the crew realized the door was not opening. After MGM[edit] After 15 years of appearing in films, Williams was threatened with contract suspension from MGM after refusing the lead role in The Opposite Sex (eventually released in 1956), a musical remake of 1939's The Women. The role of Mary would have been rewritten to be an aquacade star (and was eventually filled by June Allyson as "Kay", a nightclub singer). Williams redecorated her dressing room to accommodate returning star Grace Kelly, packed her terry cloth robes and swimsuits and drove off the studio lot. As a result of leaving her contract, Williams lost almost $3 million in deferred contract payments, which had been taken from her paychecks over the previous 14 years and put aside as both a nest egg and a tax deferral. She was, however, still able to collect on the $50,000 signing bonus from when she first signed her contract.[59] In 1956, she moved to Universal International and appeared in a non-musical dramatic film, The Unguarded Moment (1956). After that, her film career slowly wound down. She later admitted that husband Fernando Lamas preferred her not to continue in films. She would, however, make occasional appearances on television, including mystery guest appearances for What's My Line?, The Donna Reed Show, The Ed Sullivan Show, and two aqua-specials, The Esther Williams Aqua Spectacle (1956) and Esther Williams at Cypress Gardens which was telecast on August 8, 1960.[60] More than half of all television sets in use in the United States were tuned in to watch the Cypress Gardens special.[61] She starred in an aqua-special at Wembley Stadium in London.[7] In 1966, Williams was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.[17] Later years[edit] Williams retired from acting in the early 1960s and later turned down the role of Belle Rosen, a character with a crucial swimming scene, in The Poseidon Adventure. (The role eventually went to Shelley Winters.) She continued to lend her name to a line of retro women's swimwear. "Women worldwide are fighting a thing called gravity," said Williams. "I say to women when I talk to them, 'You girls of 18 have until about 25, 30 at the most, and then you have to report to me. My suits are quality fabric.'"[48] She went on: "I put you in a suit that contains you and you will swim in. I don't want you to be in two Dixie cups and a fish line."[62] She was also the namesake of a company that manufactures swimming pools and swimming pool accessories. She came out with a line of Swim, Baby, Swimvideos, which helped parents teach their children how to swim. She also appeared as a commentator for synchronized swimming at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[63]Williams met her fourth husband as a result of his calling her to coordinate her appearance.[48] She co-wrote her autobiography, The Million Dollar Mermaid (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1999), with popular media critic and author Digby Diehl.[51] In a 2007 interview with Diane Sawyer, Williams admitted that she had recently suffered a stroke. "I opened my eyes and I could see, but I couldn't remember anything from the past," she said.[64] In June 2008, Williams attended Cyd Charisse's funeral, which she did while seated in a wheelchair.[65] In April 2010, Williams appeared at the first Turner Classic Movies Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, California, alongside two-time co-star Betty Garrett.[66] Their film Neptune's Daughter (1949) was screened at the pool of the Roosevelt Hotel, along with a performance of the Williams-inspired synchronized swimming troupe, The Waterlilies.[67][68] South Beach Miami's 2010 Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Swim, a showcase of designer swimwear, included a Williams suite, complete with a beach summer theme and sand palette with aqua accents.[69] In 2000 an account of Williams's life and career appeared in the Swedish book Esther Williams — Skenbiografin (Esther Williams — The Fake Biography) written by Jane Magnusson,[70] in which the author shares with readers her own fascination for art swimming as a genre and, here, in particular, Williams as — to the author — both a bewildering and mesmerizing front figure and icon in this field.[71] Personal life[edit] Political Views[edit] Williams was a staunch Republican.[72] Marriages[edit] Williams married four times. She met her first husband, Leonard Kovner, while attending Los Angeles City College. She later wrote in her autobiography The Million Dollar Mermaid that "he was smart, handsome, dependable ... and dull. I respected his intelligence, and his dedication to a future career in medicine. He loved me, or so he said, and even asked me to marry him." They were married in the San Francisco suburb of Los Altos on June 27, 1940.[73][74][75] On their split she said "I found, much to my relief, that all I needed for my emotional and personal security was my own resolve and determination. I didn't need a marriage and a ring. I had come to realize all too quickly that Leonard Kovner was not a man I could ever really love."[76] They divorced on September 12, 1944.[75][77] She married singer/actor Ben Gage on November 25, 1945;[78][79] they had three children, Benjamin Stanton (born August 6, 1949), [43][80] Kimball Austin (October 30, 1950 – May 6, 2008)[81] and Susan Tenney (born October 1, 1953).[82] In her autobiography, she portrayed Gage as an alcoholic parasite who squandered $10 million of her earnings. Gage and Williams separated in 1952,[83] and divorced in April 1959.[84] During the filming of Pagan Love Song in Hawaii, Williams learned she was pregnant with her third child, and notified the studio in California. Gage had met a man at the hotel who owned a ham radio and persuaded the man to let them use it to call California. What they failed to realize at the time, though, was that anyone could be listening in on their conversation, and news of her pregnancy was broadcast to the entire West Coast.[85] She disclosed in her autobiography that she had an affair with actor Victor Mature while they were working on Million Dollar Mermaid, citing that at the time her marriage was in trouble and, feeling lonely, she turned to Mature for love and affection, and he gave her all she wanted. The affair stopped while Williams was recovering from her fall during the shooting of Million Dollar Mermaid. She was romantically linked with Jeff Chandler. She claims in her autobiography that Chandler was a cross-dresser and that she broke off the relationship.[86] According to the Los Angeles Times, many friends and colleagues of Chandler's rebutted Williams' claims. Jane Russell commented, "I've never heard of such a thing. Cross-dressing is the last thing I would expect of Jeff. He was a sweet guy, definitely all man."[87] She married her former lover, Argentine actor/director, Fernando Lamas on December 31, 1969. For 13 years, she lived in total submission to him, where she had to stop being "Esther Williams" and could not have her children live with her. In return, he would be faithful.[48][88] They were married until his death from pancreatic cancer on October 8, 1982.[89] She resided in Beverly Hills with actor husband Edward Bell, whom she married on October 24, 1994.[90] LSD[edit] In September 1959, Cary Grant told Look magazine that he had taken LSD under a doctor's supervision, and it had changed his life. Grant's therapist, Mortimer Hartman, described LSD as "a psychic energizer which empties the subconscious and intensifies emotion and memory a hundred times". Grant said that, with the help of LSD, he had "found that [he] had a tough inner core of strength", and that when he was young, he "was very dependent upon older men and women. Now, people [came] to [him] for help." Williams stated that she wanted to be one of those people. As she said in Million Dollar Mermaid, "At that point, I really didn't know who I was. Was I that glamorous femme fatale?... Was I just another broken-down divorcée whose husband left her with all the bills and three kids?" Shortly after reading the article, she contacted Grant. He called his doctor and made an appointment for her. Williams said LSD seemed like instant psychoanalysis.[91][92] Death and tributes[edit] Esther Williams died in her sleep on June 6, 2013, from natural causes, in her Los Angeles home. She was 91.[93] She was cremated, her ashes were scattered in the Pacific Ocean. Of her death CNN quoted[94] her International Swimming Hall of Fame biography, saying, "Her movie career played a major role in the promotion of swimming, making it attractive to the public, contributing to the growth of the sport as a public recreation for health, exercise, water safety -- and just plain fun."[95] Her stepson Lorenzo Lamas tweeted she was "The best swim teacher and soul mom."[96] Her friend Annabeth Gish also tweeted a tribute, writing that Esther Williams was "An elegant, gracious movie star, legend and neighbour". Film historian Leonard Maltin called her "a major, major star, a tremendous box office attraction."[97] For her contribution to the motion-picture industry, Williams has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 1560 Vine Street. She left her hand and foot prints in front of the Grauman's Chinese Theatre on August 1, 1944. Scarlett Johansson's character in the 2016 Coen Brothers film, Hail, Caesar!, shares several similarities with Williams, most notably being an aquamusical star who becomes pregnant during a production. Archive[edit] Esther Williams donated her personal film archive to the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences.[98] Filmography[edit] Film Year Title Role Notes 1942 Andy Hardy's Double Life Sheila Brooks 1942 Personalities Sheila Brooks (Screen test footage) Short subject 1942 Inflation Mrs. Smith Short film 1943 A Guy Named Joe Ellen Bright 1944 Bathing Beauty Caroline Brooks 1945 Thrill of a Romance Cynthia Glenn 1946 Ziegfeld Follies Herself ('A Water Ballet') 1946 The Hoodlum Saint Kay Lorrison 1946 Easy to Wed Connie Allenbury Chandler 1946 Till the Clouds Roll By Herself Uncredited 1947 Fiesta Maria Morales 1947 This Time for Keeps Leonora 'Nora' Cambaretti 1948 On an Island with You Rosalind Reynolds 1949 Take Me Out to the Ball Game K.C.

She was under contract to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer by the early 1940s, soon establishing a career principally through her work in musicals. After several supporting roles, she was a lead performer in such films as Thousands Cheer (1943), Anchors Aweigh (1945) with Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly, and Show Boat (1951) and Kiss Me Kate (1953), both with Howard Keel.[citation needed] When film musical production declined, she worked in theatre, appearing in Camelot (1962–1964). Later in the decade she performed in several operas, including La bohème, Madama Butterfly, Orpheus in the Underworld and La traviata.[citation needed] Contents [hide]  1 Early life 2 Film career 2.1 1940s 2.2 1950s 2.3 Warner Bros 3 Stage career 4 Musical career 5 Personal life 5.1 John Shelton 5.2 Johnnie Johnston 6 Filmography 7 Stage Work 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links Early life[edit] She was born Zelma Kathryn Elisabeth Hedrick in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, one of four children of Charles E. Hedrick, a building contractor-realtor, and Lillian Grayson Hedrick (1897–1955).[8] Lillian was of Siberian, Native American and English descent,[citation needed] and Charles was of German, Siberian, Hungarian and Polish descent.[citation needed] Grayson was a direct descendant of Robert E. Lee. The Hedrick family later moved to Kirkwood, Missouri, outside St. Louis, where she was discovered singing on the empty stage of the St. Louis Municipal Opera House by a janitor, who introduced her to Frances Marshall of the Chicago Civic Opera, who gave the twelve-year-old girl voice lessons. Grayson's sister, Frances Raeburn (born Mildred Hedrick) was also an actress and singer, appearing alongside her in the film Seven Sweethearts.[9] She had two brothers, Clarence "Bud" E. Hedrick,[10] and Harold. The family moved to California when Grayson was 15 years old. Film career[edit] 1940s[edit] In 1940, an MGM talent scout saw Grayson performing at a music festival. Metro hoped to find a replacement for Deanna Durbin, who left the studio for Universal Pictures.[11] For the next 18 months, Grayson went through voice lessons, drama coaching, diction, diets and exercise. Within a year, Grayson had her first screen test. However, the studio executives were not satisfied, and she went through a further six months of lessons until she made her first film appearance in 1941's Andy Hardy's Private Secretary as the character's secretary Kathryn Land.[12] In the film, she takes part in three musical numbers. Two further films were planned for Grayson in 1941; White House Girl,[13] which was later made in 1948 with Durbin,[14] and Very Warm for May, from the Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein musical of the same name.[15] Ann Sothern was also slated to appear, however, this fell through as well. The film eventually was made in 1944 as Broadway Rhythm.[citation needed] She appeared in three films in 1942: The Vanishing Virginian, Rio Rita and Seven Sweethearts. In the first, Grayson plays the teenage daughter, Rebecca, of the eccentric Yancey family from Lynchburg, Virginia.[16] Set in 1913, the film was based on Rebecca Yancey Williams's own family. Grayson as Billie Van Maaster in Seven Sweethearts. Grayson co-starred in Rio Rita with Abbott and Costello.[17] Grayson portrayed the title character, Rita Winslow. The film was originally meant to be an adaptation of the 1927 Broadway musical, however, only two songs were retained for the film, the title song, and "The Ranger Song", which was performed by Grayson.[citation needed] Co-starring Van Heflin, Seven Sweethearts cast Grayson as the youngest of seven daughters from Holland, Michigan, who is hired by reporter-photographer Heflin to serve as a model and secretary while he covers the town's tulip festival, and with whom he falls in love.[18] In 1943, Grayson appeared in the film Thousands Cheer, (originally titled Private Miss Jones), along with Gene Kelly, Mickey Rooney, Eleanor Powell, June Allyson and others. The film was intended as a morale booster for American troops and their families. Grayson starred as the singing daughter of an Army commander.[citation needed] It was announced in 1942 that Grayson would appear in An American Symphony with Judy Garland.[19] Garland was replaced by June Allyson, and the film was retitled as "Two Sisters from Boston" and released in 1946.[citation needed] Grayson did not appear in any films for nearly two years (from 1943 to 1945), but instead worked at entertaining troops during the war and performing on radio programs.[20] Notably, it is reported that she would only perform under the condition that the audience was integrated, as troops were segregated at the time.[21] She returned to films in Anchors Aweigh, a musical romantic-comedy set in Los Angeles and co-starring Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Anchors Aweigh was the fifth-highest grossing film of 1945, earning over $4.779 million.[22] This was followed by Two Sisters from Boston and guest appearances in Ziegfeld Follies and Till the Clouds Roll By. Her performance in Till the Clouds Roll Byincluded "Make Believe" in a capsule version of the musical Show Boat, which would be remade five years later, with Grayson in the starring role.[citation needed] MGM re-paired Grayson and Sinatra for two movies in 1947 and 1948, It Happened in Brooklyn and The Kissing Bandit. Both films performed poorly at the box office, and audiences thought the plots absurd.[23] After the setbacks of Brooklyn and Bandit, Grayson was partnered with tenor Mario Lanza in That Midnight Kissin 1949.[citation needed] 1950s[edit] with Mario Lanza in The Toast of New Orleans In 1950, Grayson was once again partnered with Lanza, and portrayed an opera singer in The Toast of New Orleans, and performed the Academy-Award-nominated song "Be My Love". While shooting the Madama Butterfly scene in the film, Lanza kept attempting to french kiss Grayson, which Grayson claimed was made even worse by the fact that Lanza would constantly eat garlic before shooting. Grayson went to costume designer Helen Rose, who sewed pieces of brass into Grayson's gloves. Any time Lanza attempted to french kiss her after that, she hit him with the brass-filled glove.[24] For the premiere of the film in New Orleans, she was a guest at an auction selling the film's costumes.[25] Grayson as Magnolia Hawkes. Grayson replaced June Allyson in the role of Ina Massine in 1951's Grounds for Marriage.[26] She portrayed an opera singer with laryngitis, alongside Van Johnsonwho played her doctor and love interest. This was also her first non-singing role at MGM. Grayson's musical performances do appear in the film, but in the form of recordings.[citation needed] Grayson was next cast as Magnolia Hawks in the 1951 remake of the 1927 Hammerstein and Kern musical, Show Boat, alongside Howard Keel and Judy Garland, however, Garland dropped out of production,[27][28] and the role went to Ava Gardner. Show Boat was the third-highest-grossing film of 1951, earning over $5.533 million.[29] Grayson teamed again with Keel in the 1952 Technicolor musical Lovely to Look At, a remake of the 1935 Astaire and Rogers film Roberta.[30] She was released to the Warner Brothers studio in January 1953, with the stipulation that she return to MGM for one more film. She returned to co-star for a third time with Howard Keel in her most acclaimed role, as Lilli Vanessi/Katharina in Kiss Me Kate, released in November 1953. The film was lavishly produced (the only musical other than Those Redheads from Seattle (1953) to be filmed in 3-D), with songs by Cole Porter, choreography by Hermes Pan, and musical direction by André Previn.[citation needed] Warner Bros[edit] While on loan to Warner Bros, her first musical release was The Desert Song, May 1953, alongside Gordon MacRae. She was asked to perform La Bohème at the Central City Opera House in Central City, Colorado, but due to her filming obligations for The Desert Song, she had to turn it down.[31] Warner Bros. starred her in a second musical that year, So This Is Love.[citation needed] Grayson appeared on television occasionally, having guest starred in the CBS anthology series, General Electric Theater in the episode, Shadow on the Heart, with John Ericson, and on Playhouse 90 in the title role of the "Lone Woman", with Raymond Burr and Scott Brady in the historical roles of the brothers Charles andWilliam Bent, respectively. In the 1980s, Grayson guest starred in three episodes as recurring character "Ideal Molloy" on Murder, She Wrote.[citation needed] Stage career[edit] Grayson appeared on stage in numerous productions including Show Boat, Rosalinda, Kiss Me, Kate, Naughty Marietta, and The Merry Widow, for which she was nominated for Chicago's Sarah Siddons Award. In 1953, Grayson optioned the story It's Greek to Me, written by Helen Deutsch, to be accompanied by a score from Cole Porter. The story was a mythical love story about Hercules and Hippolyte, and Grayson hoped to be reunited with Howard Keel and take the show on the road. However, the project fell apart.[32] Her casting in The Merry Widow led to her replacing Julie Andrews in 1962 as Queen Guinevere in Camelot. She then continued the role for over sixteen months in the national tour of the United States before leaving for health reasons. Grayson had a lifelong dream of being an opera star, and she appeared in a number of operas in the 1960s, such as La bohème, Madama Butterfly, Orpheus in the Underworld and La traviata. Her dramatic and comedy stage roles included Night Watch, Noises Off, Love Letters and Something's Afoot as Dottie Otterling. Musical career[edit] Grayson trained from the age of twelve as an opera singer.[33] While appearing in her film roles, Grayson also performed on the radio.[34] Grayson performed on concert tours throughout the 1950s. In May 1951, Grayson had to postpone a concert tour due to being unknowingly cast in Lovely to Look At. "My concert bookings were all set. So when I read in New York that I was to do this film, I said 'How silly!', then boom! The next day I got my studio telegram asking me to return for the picture!"[35] In 1952, Grayson was offered more than $10,000 to perform for a week at the Riviera night club in New Jersey before making The Desert Song.[36] After filming The Desert Song, Grayson created a recording of the musical with Tony Martin.[20] Grayson supervised the Voice and Choral Studies Program at Idaho State University.[37][38] Personal life[edit] Grayson married twice, first to actor John Shelton and then to the actor/singer Johnnie Johnston. She was a Republican.[39] John Shelton[edit] Shelton and Grayson eloped to Las Vegas, where they were married on July 11, 1941.[40] The two had courted for 18 months, after meeting while making screen tests. In July 1942, Shelton moved out of their Brentwood home and into his own apartment. This came after a month of reconciliation after a judge dismissed their divorce suit. Grayson charged Shelton with mental cruelty.[41] They divorced on June 17, 1946.[42] Johnnie Johnston[edit] Grayson wed singer/actor Johnnie Johnston on August 22, 1947, in Carmel, California.[43] On October 7, 1948, Grayson's only child, daughter Patricia "Patty Kate" Kathryn Johnston was born. Patricia married Robert Towers and had two children, including Jordan Towers, who became the lead singer of the band SomeKindaWonderful. Grayson and Johnston separated on November 15, 1950. On October 3, 1951, Grayson was granted a divorce from Johnston on the grounds of mental cruelty.[44] Johnston's This Time for Keeps co-star, Esther Williams, claimed in her 1999 autobiography that while making the film, Johnston would read Grayson's intimate letters aloud to the girls in his fan club, including the "all-too-graphic details concerning what she liked about his love-making."[45] According to her secretary, Grayson died in her sleep at her home in Los Angeles on February 17, 2010, aged 88.[1] Filmography[edit] Year Film Role Notes 1941 Andy Hardy's Private Secretary Kathryn Land 1942 The Vanishing Virginian Rebecca Yancey 1942 Rio Rita Rita Winslow 1942 Seven Sweethearts Billie Van Maaster 1943 Thousands Cheer Kathryn Jones 1945 Anchors Aweigh Susan Abbott 1946 Ziegfeld Follies Herself 1946 Two Sisters from Boston Abigail Chandler 1946 Till the Clouds Roll By Magnolia in 'Show Boat' 1947 It Happened in Brooklyn Anne Fielding 1948 The Kissing Bandit Teresa 1949 That Midnight Kiss Prudence Budell 1949 Some of the Best Herself 1950 The Toast of New Orleans Suzette Micheline 1951 Grounds for Marriage Ina Massine 1951 Show Boat Magnolia Hawks 1952 Lovely to Look At Stephanie 1953 The Desert Song Margot Birabeau 1953 So This Is Love Grace Moore 1953 Kiss Me Kate Lilli Vanessi / Kate 1956 The Vagabond King Catherine de Vaucelles 1976 The Amazing World of Psychic Phenomena Psychic Detective 1994 A Century of Cinema Herself 2003 Cole Porter in Hollywood: Too Darn Hot Herself-Kate/Lilli in Kiss Me Kate 2004 The Masters Behind the Musicals Herself Stage Work[edit] Madama Butterfly (1959) La Traviata (1960) La bohème (1960) The Merry Widow (1961) Naughty Marietta (1961) Rosalinda (1962) Camelot (1962) Show Boat (1964) Night Watch (1982) Orpheus in the Underworld (1983) Something's Afoot (1983) Noises Off (1987) Love Letters (1996) Red Sox and Roses (1997)san Hayward (born Edythe Marrenner; June 30, 1917 – March 14, 1975) was an American actress and singer. After working as a fashion model, Hayward traveled to Hollywood in 1937. She secured a film contract and played several small supporting roles over the next few years. By the late 1940s, the quality of her film roles had improved, and she achieved recognition for her dramatic abilities with the first of five Academy Award nominations for Best Actress for her performance as an alcoholic in Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman (1947). Her career continued successfully through the 1950s and she received subsequent nominations for My Foolish Heart (1949), With a Song in My Heart (1952), and I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955). She finally won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of death row inmate Barbara Graham in I Want to Live!(1958). After Hayward's second marriage and subsequent move to Georgia, her film appearances became infrequent, although she continued acting in film and television until 1972. She died in 1975 of brain cancer.

Her paternal grandmother was an actress, Kate Harrigan, from County Cork, Ireland.[1] Her mother was of Swedish descent. She had an older sister, Florence (born May 1910), and an older brother, Walter, Jr. (born December 1911).[2] She was born on the same day, and in the same city, as entertainer Lena Horne. Hayward was educated at Public School 181, and graduated from the Girls' Commercial High School (later renamed Prospect Heights High School). According to the Erasmus Hall High School alumni page, Hayward attended that school in the mid-1930s, so she possibly attended Erasmus Hall High School before transferring to Girls' Commercial High School. During her high school years, she acted in various school plays and was named "Most Dramatic" by her class. She graduated in June 1935.[3] Career[edit] This section needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources.

Although she did not win the role, Hayward found a contract at Warner Bros. Warner Bros[edit] Hayward had small bits in Hollywood Hotel (1937), The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938) (her part was ultimately deleted), and The Sisters (1938) as well as a short, Campus Cinderella (1938). Hayward's first sizeable role was in a "B" with Ronald Reagan, Girls on Probation (1938). She was also in Comet Over Broadway (1938). Paramount[edit] Hayward went to Paramount, where she had her first breakthrough: the part of Isobel in Beau Geste (1939) opposite Gary Cooper and Ray Milland. Although only a small role it was the largest female part and the film was hugely successful. Paramount put Hayward as the second lead in Our Leading Citizen (1939) with Bob Burns and she supported Joe E. Brown in $1000 a Touchdown (1939). Hayward went to Columbia to support Ingrid Bergman in Adam Had Four Sons (1941) then to Republic for Sis Hopkins (1941) with Judy Canova and Bob Crosby. Back at Paramount she had the lead in a "B", Among the Living (1941). Cecil B. De Mille gave her a good support role in Reap the Wild Wind (1942), as the second lead with Milland, John Wayne and Paulette Goddard. She was in a short A Letter from Bataan (1942) and supported Goddard and Fred MacMurray in The Forest Rangers (1942). United Artists and Republic[edit] Hayward was the false love interest in I Married a Witch (1942) with Frederic March and Veronica Lake, made for Paramount but sold to United Artists. She was one of many stars in Star Spangled Rhythm (1943). Hayward was in Young and Willing (1943) with William Holden, another Paramount film distributed by UA. She was in Republic's Hit Parade of 1943 (1943), her singing voice dubbed. Sam Bronston borrowed her for Jack London (1943) at UA then she was Wayne's love interest in The Fighting Seabees (1944) at Republic, the biggest budgeted film in that company's history.[4] She starred in the film version of The Hairy Ape (1944) for UA. Back at Paramount she was Loretta Young's sister in And Now Tomorrow (1944). She then left the studio. RKO gave Hayward her first top billed role in Deadline at Dawn (1946), a "B" film which was Harold Clurman's only movie as director. Walter Wagner and Stardom[edit] Susan Hayward in Smash Up(1947) After the war, Hayward's career took off when she was contracted by producer Walter Wanger for a seven-year contract at $100,000 a year.[5] with her first film being Canyon Passage (1946). In 1947, she received the first of five Academy Award nominations for her role as an alcoholic nightclub singer based on Dixie Lee in Smash-Up, the Story of a Woman, her second film for Wanger. It was a success and launched Hayward as a star.[6] RKO used her again for They Won't Believe Me (1947) then she worked for Wanger on The Lost Moment (1948), and Tap Roots (1948); both films lost money but the latter was widely seen.[7] At Universal she was in The Saxon Charm (1948) and she did Tulsa (1949) for Wanger. Both films were commercial disappointments. 20th Century Fox[edit] Hayward went over to 20th Century Fox to make House of Strangers (1949) for director Joseph Mankiewicz, beginning a long association with that studio. Sam Goldwyn borrowed her for My Foolish Heart (1949), then she went back to Fox for I'd Climb the Highest Mountain (1951), which was a hit.[8] She stayed at that studio to make Rawhide (1951) with Tyrone Power, and I Can Get It for You Wholesale (1951). Hayward then starred in three massive successes: David and Bathsheba (1951) with Gregory Peck, the most popular film of the year[9]; With a Song in My Heart(1952), a biopic of Jane Froman, which earned her an Oscar nomination; and The Snows of Kilimanjaro (1952), with Peck and Ava Gardner. RKO borrowed Hayward for The Lusty Men (1952) with Robert Mitchum then she went back to Fox for The President's Lady (1953), playing Rachel Jacksonalongside Charlton Heston; White Witch Doctor (1953), with Mitchum; Demetrius and the Gladiators (1954), as Messalina; Garden of Evil (1954) with Gary Cooper and Richard Widmark; Untamed (1955) with Power, and Soldier of Fortune (1955) with Clark Gable.[10] Peak[edit] MGM hired her to play the alcoholic actress Lillian Roth in I'll Cry Tomorrow (1955), based on Roth's best-selling autobiography of the same name, for which she received a Cannes award. It was a major financial success.[11] (Though Hayward never truly became known as a singer because she hated her own singing,[original research?] she portrayed singers in several films. In I'll Cry Tomorrow, however, though a "ghost singer" was actually recruited, her own voice is actually heard on the soundtrack.[citation needed] Susan Hayward performed in the musical biography of Jane Froman in the 1952 film, With a Song in My Heart, a role which won her the Golden Globe for Best Actress Comedy film. Jane Froman's voice was dubbed as Hayward acted out the songs.[12]) Hayward receiving an Oscar for Best Actress in I Want to Live (1958) In 1956, she was cast by Howard Hughes to play Bortai in the historical epic The Conqueror, as John Wayne's leading lady. It was critically reviled but a commercial success.[13] She did a comedy with Kirk Douglas, Top Secret Affair (1956) which flopped.[14] Hayward made one more film with Wagner, I Want to Live! (1958), playing Barbara Graham which was a critical and commercial success. Hayward won the Best Actress Oscar.[15] Decline as Star[edit] Hayward made Thunder in the Sun (1959) with Jeff Chandler and Woman Obsessed (1959) at Fox. In 1961, Hayward starred as a working girl who becomes the wife of the state's next governor (Dean Martin) and ultimately takes over that office herself in Ada. The same year, she played Rae Smith in Ross Hunter's lavish remake of Back Street, which also starred John Gavin and Vera Miles. Neither of these films were particularly successful; neither were I Thank a Fool (1963) at MGM, Stolen Hours (1963), and Where Love Has Gone (1964). Later Career[edit] Hayward was reunited with Joseph Mankiewicz in The Honey Pot (1967). Then she replaced Judy Garland as Helen Lawson in the film adaptation of Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls (1967). She received good reviews for her performance in a Las Vegas production of Mame, but left the production. She was replaced by Celeste Holm. She continued to act into the early 1970s, when she was diagnosed with brain cancer. She appeared in the TV movie Heat of Anger (1972) and the film The Revengers (1972) with William Holden. Her final film role was as Dr. Maggie Cole in the 1972 made-for-TV drama Say Goodbye, Maggie Cole. (The film was intended to be a pilot episode for a weekly television series, but because of Hayward's cancer diagnosis and failing health, the series was never produced.)[16] Her last public appearance was at the Academy Awards telecast in 1974 to present the Best Actress award despite being very ill. With Charlton Heston's support, she was able to present the award.[citation needed] Personal life[edit] Hayward was married to actor Jess Barker for 10 years and they had two children, fraternal twin sons named Gregory and Timothy, born February 19, 1945. The marriage was described in Hollywood gossip columns as turbulent. They divorced in 1954. Hayward attempted suicide after the divorce. During the contentious divorce proceedings, Hayward stayed in the United States rather than join the Hong Kong location shooting for the film Soldier of Fortune. She shot her scenes with co-star Clark Gable indoors in Hollywood. A few brief, distant scenes of Gable and a Hayward double walking near landmarks in Hong Kong were combined with the indoor shots. Drawing of Hayward in character after winning an Oscar for I Want to Live, by artist Nicholas Volpe In 1957, Hayward married Floyd Eaton Chalkley, commonly known as Eaton Chalkley. He was a Georgia rancher and businessman who had formerly worked as a federal agent. Though he was an unusual husband for a Hollywood movie star, the marriage was a happy one. She lived with him on a farm near Carrollton, Georgia. The couple also owned property across the state line in Cleburne County, just outside Heflin, Alabama.[17] She became a popular figure in an area that in the 1950s was off the beaten path for most celebrities. In December 1964, she and her husband were baptized Catholic by Father McGuire at SS Peter and Paul's Roman Catholic Church on Larimer Avenue, in the East Liberty section of Pittsburgh. She had met McGuire while in China and promised him that if she ever converted, he would be the one to baptize her.[18] Chalkley died on January 9, 1966. Hayward went into mourning and did little acting for several years, and took up residence in Florida, because she preferred not to live in her Georgia home without her husband. Before her Catholic baptism, Hayward was a proponent of astrology.[19] She particularly relied on the advice of Carroll Righter, who called himself "the Gregarious Aquarius" and the self-proclaimed "Astrologer to the Stars", who informed her that the optimum time to sign a film contract was exactly 2:47 am, causing her to set her alarm for 2:45 so she could be sure to obey his instructions.[20] Hayward was a lifelong registered Republican, who endorsed Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1952 and appeared at the 1953 Republican Rally[21]. Death[edit] Hayward was diagnosed with brain cancer in 1973. On March 14, 1975, she suffered a seizure in her Beverly Hills home and died at the age of 57.[22] She was survived by her two sons from her marriage with Barker. A funeral service was held on March 16 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Roman Catholic Church in Carrollton, Georgia. Hayward's body was buried in the church's cemetery.[23] Hayward may have developed cancer from radioactive fallout from atmospheric atomic bomb tests[24] while making The Conqueror with John Wayne in St. George, Utah. Several production members, as well as Wayne himself, Agnes Moorehead, Pedro Armendáriz, and its director Dick Powell, later succumbed to cancer and cancer-related illnesses.[25] The cast and crew totaled 220 people.
