Author Grantlee Kieza has written a new biography of the amazing Aussie superstar Annette Kellerman and joined Philip Clark to discuss her remarkable life. 

Million Dollar Mermaid, celebrating the story of Australia's Annette Kellerman was a huge hit for film star Esther Williams in the 1950s, and the most popular aqua musical of its day  

For some sports on the Olympic program, it's easy to understand how they evolved: Swim fast, run fast, jump high, score a goal. But sports like artistic swimming? Where did that come from? On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Vicki Valosik, author of Swimming Pretty: The Untold Story of Women in Water, who delved deep in to the world of synchronized swimming to discover its roots--and along the way, she found much more.   The book is a treasure trove of rabbit holes, from the connection Benjamin Franklin had to the sport, to water-based lifesaving techniques used by the military. Vicki dives into the lives of the sport's pioneer Annette Kellerman and movie star Esther Williams as she traces the history of the sport from its earliest days to the Olympic stage.   You can find out more about Vicki Valosik at her website. Follow her on Insta, Facebook, and X!   Also on today's episode, Zeus the horse from the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony is now at Versailles for an exhibit. In Melbourne, someone's created another statue--of infamous breaking athlete Raygun.   It's just 500 days to go until the Milan-Cortina 2026 Paralympics! In other Milan-Cortina 2026 news, Poste Italliane has signed on as a sponsor, and the organizing committee announced the producers of the ceremonies and torch relay.   Plus, LA 2028 may be more of a US Games than we thought, and there's some cool legacy news out of Tokyo.   Milan-Cortina will be a regional Games, and LA 2028 may turn out to be that way too. We already know that softball and canoe slalom will be held in Oklahoma City, and now cricket may also take place outside of Southern California.   We also have updates from TKFLASTANIs: Para triathlete Grace Norman Sprinter Kenny Bednarek Sled hockey player Monica Quimby Para swimmer Olivia Chambers Race walker Evan Dunfee We'll be at the Olympin show in Atlanta on November 8-10.

Synchronized, scientific, ornamental, fancy, pretty: so many adjectives have been attached over the years to performative swimming, especially when done by women. Now known at the highest level as “artistic swimming,” it was for decades one of the few athletic activities women could pursue, albeit in uncomfortable, baggy, and not exactly aerodynamic attire. Despite—or perhaps because of—its popularity, synchronized swimming's status as a legitimate, elite sport would be contested for just as long—until 1984, in fact, when it finally debuted at the Los Angeles Olympics in all its sparkly glory. In her new book, Swimming Pretty, Scholar contributor Vicki Valosik dives into “the untold story of women in water,” from Victorian starlets like Lurline the Water Queen to Annette Kellerman, the godmother of synchronized swimming and the woman we can all thank for not having to wear petticoats in the water.

Guest host Mary-Lou Stephens chats to fellow historical fiction author Julie Bennet about her second novel, The Lost Letters of Rose Carey.  A former journalist Julie's novels are inspired by her experiences on stage as a child extra in the newly-opened Sydney Opera House (The Understudy) and now by her research into the life of 1920's movie icon Annette Kellerman. Set in 2024 and 1923 the dual timeline story is a stirring tale of mystery and romance about the 'million dollar mermaid'.  Julie talks about the inspiration for the story and how she turned fact into fiction to create the character of Rose Carey. It's a great conversation between two talented writers of historical fiction. In the intro Pam reveals all (well, some) about her recent Next Chapter Writing Retreat.

Born in Australia in the late 19th century, Annette Kellerman defied societal norms from a young age. Overcoming childhood illness, she discovered her love for swimming, a passion that would propel her to international fame. As one of the first women to attempt long-distance swims, Annette shattered records and captivated audiences with her daring feats. But Annette's impact extended beyond the pool. As a champion of women's rights, she challenged conventions of beauty and athleticism, advocating for freedom of movement and expression. Her iconic one-piece swimsuit, scandalous at the time, revolutionized swimwear and paved the way for greater female participation in sports. Yet, Annette's journey was not without its trials. From facing censorship for her bold performances to enduring personal hardships, she remained resilient in the face of adversity. Through it all, she continued to push boundaries, blazing a trail for women in sports and entertainment.

 Our guest, the delightful, intelligent, and intrepid Australian actor, writer, and producer Zac Garred picked the 1997 film “Boogie Nights”, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring too many talented people to list here - seriously the cast list is insane. Zac is one of Devin's favorite humans, being her Australian brother from another mother. We look at Julianne Moore's role as Amber Waves, the matriarchal figure of the odd family of the characters in “Boogie Nights,” and happened to record this episode in the film's 25th anniversary year of 2022! The breadth of our conversation is vast, talking about “The Matrix” to “Ace Ventura" and our own love of filmmaking, to Aussie slang and other cross-cultural experiences growing up in the US versus Australia. Zac, being a history major at university, brings his own women in film fact to the table - the Australian trailblazing powerhouse Annette Kellerman, and we also learn about Erika Lust and Jacky St James who are feminist filmmakers in the porn industry today and how they're changing the game, as well as the first Chinese-American film star Anna May Wong. You can find Zac in a Netflix queue near you, starring in the action packed Australian sci-fi films Occupation and Occupation Rainfall, as well as many more projects to come this year - check out his newest film trailer “Bring Him to Me” with none other than Jurassic Park's Sam Neill! Some may recognize him from his villainous work on General Hospital as well.

Connaissez-vous Annette Kellerman ? Cette nageuse aux multiples exploits sportifs est parti d'un constat simple : les costumes de bain imposés aux femmes les freinent dans leurs performances. De là, elle invente le premier maillot de bain une pièce. Mais il est jugé indécent pour l'époque...

Annette Kellerman was a swimmer from Australia who rose to stardom for her speed and grace, but also changed the world of swimsuits. She once performed in front of England's Royal family, thanks to some clever underwear re-engineering.

In this week's episode, Stephanie regales us with the story of a woman who scorned the traditional women's swimwear at the time and brought forth something new. So revolutionary was her invention, the one-piece bathing suit, that it brought forth quite the scandal! Listen to the full episode to find out more. - Thank you for listening weirdos!

Michael is joined each week by Aussie historian, author & entertainer Jim Haynes, for his unique knowledge of the not-so-famous characters from Australia's history.   This week Jim shines the spotlight on Annette Kellerman - The Perfect Woman   Swimmer, athlete, dancer, diver, actress, entertainer, author, designer, fitness expert, model, women's liberator, childhood cripple and movie star Annette Kellerman was born in 1886. Her violinist father, Frederick, and her French-born mother, pianist and music teacher Alice, lived in the inner Sydney suburb of Marrickville.   Kellermann was one of the first women to wear a one-piece bathing costume, instead of the then-accepted pantaloons, and inspired others to follow her example.   Her swimming costumes became so popular that she started her own fashion line of one-piece bathing suits and she helped popularize the sport of synchronised swimming, and authored a swimming manual.   She appeared in several movies, usually with aquatic themes, and as the star of A Daughter of the Gods was the first major actress to appear nude in a Hollywood production. Kellermann was an advocate of health, fitness, and natural beauty throughout her life.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

La australiana Annette Kellerman fue una virtuosa nadadora profesional que, además de bracear enérgicamente en las aguas de Australia, Europa y Norteamérica, tuvo tiempo para destacar también en el mundo del espectáculo, en el terreno editorial o en el ámbito de los negocios, al tiempo que escandalizaba, cuando la ocasión lo exigía, a la pacata sociedad del momento. Edurne Baz repasa la asombrosa biografía de Annette Kellerman, nadadora profesional, pionera de la natación sincronizada, actriz de Hollywood, escritora, emprendedora y especialista en desafiar cualquier rancia convención.

After Annette Kellerman changed the world with her scandalous swimsuit, she continued to shock her audiences by pushing boundary after boundary throughout her successful performance career.   Recommended Viewing: The Original Mermaid Documentary

When expert swimmer Annette Kellerman showed up at a beach bearing so much skin that she was arrested for indecent exposure, she sparked a swimsuit conversation that would change the world. Recommended Reading: The Original Million Dollar Mermaid by Emily Gibson with Barbara Firth

Esther Williams turns the life story of Australian swimmer Annette Kellerman into a big Hollywood spectacle that also has something to say about a woman's right to work and define her own life. The backstage drama surpassed what occurs on the screen. Esther enjoyed a lusty affair with co-star Vic Mature and performed dangerous stunts throughout production. She was probably the only star in MGM the front office could not threaten to replace.

This episode I am joined by Emma White, Children and Youth Coordinator at Hobsons Bay Libraries and the current Convenor of the Public Libraries Victoria, Children's and Youth Services Special Interest Group! Emma has worked in public libraries for over 10 years, and is a passionate advocate for children and young people in library spaces. Emma has spent lockdown moving her cat off her keyboard during Zoom meetings, continuing home renovations with her partner and learning to make her own polymer clay earrings. This episode we are talking about finding the best resources for kids in lockdown, plugging local libraries (of course!), our favourite children's books and just what we would pair with them for a fabulous reading experience! The Babysitters Club series by Ann M. Martin Kristy's Great Idea Book #1 Kristy thinks the Baby-sitters Club is a great idea. She and her friends Claudia, Stacey, and Mary Anne all love taking care of kids. A club will give them the chance to have lots of fun - and make tons of money. But nobody counted on crank calls, uncontrollable two-year-olds, wild pets, and parents who don't always tell the truth. And then there's Stacey, who's acting more and more mysterious. Having a baby-sitters club isn't easy, but Kristy and her friends aren't giving up until they get it right! Emma loves this series for its wonderful portrayal of young girls beginning to find their way as young women, its focus on friendship and community and for how good the tv series adaptation has been! She pairs this series with a Jellybean cocktail - a nostalgic classic, sweet but not too sweet, with enough colour, brightness and freshness and oomph for the whole club! Jellybeans only for the tweens of course ;) Amazing Australian Women: Twelve Women Who Shaped History by Pamela Freeman and Sophie Beer Meet twelve amazing Australian women who have changed the world, in small ways and large. Some of them are world famous, like Annette Kellerman and Nellie Melba. Some of them are famous in Australia, like Mary Reibey and Edith Cowan. All of them deserve to be famous and admired. These women are the warriors who paved the way for the artists, business owners, scientists, singers, politicians, actors, sports champions, adventurers, activists and innovators of Australia today. Emma loves how inspiring and informative this book is. Whilst it is a junior non fiction book it is told in a wonderfully readable narrative way which makes you want to find out more about each of these amazing women. She paired this amazing Australian book with an amazing Australian gin! The Kangaroo Island Spirits Mulberry Gin makes for a pretty darn delicious gin and tonic, punchy, sweet and tart and quintessentially Australian.

All this hot humid weather has me thinking about how our ancestors coped in the heat. Long dresses and undergarments in light weight cotton seemed like a sweltering combination. One of my podcast guests loves dressing in period attire. She claims that the outfit is cool, but I'm not convinced.  Hot summer weather makes me think about swimming.  But what did our ancestors wear and when. Of course it varied by generation with each successive generation of the twentieth century wearing less fabric than their mothers.  It's a generation gap of sorts. Those itsy, bitsy, tweeny weenie bikini's in the song would have shocked our ancestors.  In Sanditon, Jane Austen's unfinished novel now featured in a mini-series on PBS, the female characters don full swimming costumes and enter the sea via a horse drawn changing pavilion.  This made me think about swimsuits in general including one given to me by a friend. It was  a khaki colored jersey maillot from the 1920s.  An outrageous outfit too but It was a long way from the head to toe coverage of the 1817 era.  For generations women's bathing costumes had caps, bloomer type coverings and stockings. There were lace up beach shoes as well.  In the early twentieth century those bloomer costumes covered women to the knee and multiple layers of stockings took over from there. They were so heavy when wet that some women drowned. Ropes from shore to a pole in the water encouraged women to wade while holding on.  Of course, their menfolk folicked in the water.  While most women didn't go swimming there were a few daring women who did.  Eliza Bennet  and Agnes Beckwith wore outfits inspired by dress reformer Amelia Bloomer  Bennet swam the Hudson River in 1877 and Beckwith swam from London Bridge to Greenwich in 1875.  It wasn't until the 1890s that their “Princess” suits became more popular. They were scandalous resembling form-fitting lingerie. By the early twentieth century, a female swimmer  Annette Kellerman of Australia, appeared in silent films in 1910 and 1911. It isn't common to see pictures of nineteenth century women in bathing costumes.  I haven't actually seen an photograph of a woman dressed for the water before 1900 but I haven't spent a lot of time looking either.  Do you have images of your female ancestors in bathing outfits?  I'd love to see them.  You can share them on my Photo Detective Facebook Page. How I Became the Photo DetectiveI've always loved history. When I was a kid, one of our neighbors took me to a library and showed me the reference department. He explained how to find information. Can you say hooked! From that moment on, I've loved the smell of books and the fun in hunting new information.  Today we have libraries at our fingertips. Think of a question and Google probably has an answer. But not everything is online and published.  There is a lot of photo history that's been lost. From photographer archives to details about backdrops, there are clues in pictures that might not be readily available. Way back when my first professional job was split in two. I spent half the day assisting patrons with historical/family research and the other half of the day working with family photos. The two never merged until I decided that could be combined.  So I began to experiment with the ways that a photograph could lead to — or confirm — a family's history. For instance, a wedding photo can tell you who attended the event and where the couple was married. A woman's hat can identify her ethnic origins.Now, decades later, I've proven (again and again!) that photographs and family history go together like bread and butter. They're a natural match and one that's often overlooked in the search for census records, vital statistics and other types of standard genealogical sources.I'm honored that you've given me an opportunity to look at your photos and work with you to solve your family photo mysteries.  Every photo is different. Sure, there are babies, weddings, and even post mortem pictures, but each and every one of them is unique. It's how all the clues add up in the images that makes them different.  When I first meet someone who isn't a genealogist, they want to know about the memorable, i.e. famous photos, I've worked on. Sure, I've looked at more supposed Abraham Lincoln's and Jesse James than I can count on fingers and toes, but my work isn't about famous folk. Your ancestral photographs are fascinating. Yet it's not something everyone understands. Not all family photographs are valued. It's a hard fact to accept.  To me no photo is ordinary. Each and every one is a story to tell.  Some of the clues are in the picture and others can be found in documents, but the magic happens when you add it all together. As the Photo Detective each day brings new pictures, new discoveries, and a brand new story.  Related Episodes:Episode 72: Wearing the Past: A Modern Woman's Fascination with Period DressLinks:The Photo Detective RoadshowCousin Connections: A Three Part Master ClassSign up for my newsletter.Watch my YouTube Channel.Like the Photo Detective Facebook Page so you get notified of my Facebook Live videos.Need help organizing your photos?

This week we’re digging into our archives to bring you discussions of three Bostonian ladies who forged new paths for women. Katherine Nanny Naylor was granted the first divorce in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, allowing her to ditch an abusive husband and make her way as an entrepreneur. Annette Kellerman was a professional swimmer who popularized the one-piece swimming suit and made a (sometimes literal) splash in vaudeville and silent films. And Amelia Earhart took to the skies after humble beginnings as a social worker in a Boston settlement house. Show notes: http://HUBhistory.com/110

We’re taking you to the beach for Memorial Day weekend. 111 years ago, champion swimmer Annette Kellerman was arrested on Revere Beach. Her crime? Appearing in public in a one piece bathing suit of her own design. Along with being a record setting swimmer, Kellerman was a fitness and wellness guru, a vaudeville producer, movie actress, and a clothing designer. Besides her athletic prowess, she was known for her physical beauty, appearing in Hollywood’s first nude scene. A Harvard professor would go so far as to claim that he had scientific proof that she was “the most beautifully formed woman of modern times.” Puritanical Boston wasn’t prepared to see the exposed arms of such a specimen, so Kellerman was arrested for indecent exposure.

Episode 33 is all about adorable betches Annette Kellerman, who was the swimmer/actress/performer who popularized the one-piece bathing suit (for which she was once arrested for!), and the legendary country singer/songwriter Loretta Lynn, one of the most iconic and influential recording artists of the 20th century.

On this week's show, we learn about Annette Kellerman from first time guest host Melissa. This show was recorded live at Old Shillelagh in Detroit, MI as part of our 2 year anniversary special.

Australian Kellerman gets a lot of the credit for developing the women's one-piece bathing suit. But she was also a competitive swimmer, as well as a vaudeville and film star who designed her own mermaid costumes. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

In 1907, the professional swimmer Annette Kellerman was arrested on a Massachusetts beach for wearing a revealing bathing suit -- a skin-tight black ensemble which covered most of her body.  Less than forty years later, in 1946, the owner of a Parisian lingerie shop invented the bikini, perhaps the smallest amount of fabric to ever change the world. In this podcast, I'll tell you what happened to change people's perception of public decency in those forty years and explain how the bikini represents the best -- and the worst -- instincts of modern American culture.

Annette Kellerman was a swimming and diving champion who also did the first nude scene by a major star on screen. Not enough? She also invented the one piece bathing costume. There.

At last our heroes Carruthers & Davies arrive at the East Frisian islands. It's October 15, and, in a curious reversal of roles, Davies is quaffing pink gin in a bar, whilst Carruthers is dealing with intruders on the boat. In this podcast you can learn why Wangerooge is rarely in the same place in any given century, how to mix a delicious pink gin (with proper German gin), and how the Frisians used dykes, drainage and 'siels' to build a nation - and create a stink. First up, we ask why does the author Childers bother with a gap between October 7 and October 15 in the book? (01:30); Lloyd NotDavies talks us through the history of Wangerooge tower-building; we do another plug for our crowdfunding page on Unbound.co.uk - pledge now! (09:53) A brief aside about casual anti-semitism in the book (10:46); Tim NotCarruthers puts on his serious history face and delivers a lecture on dykes, drainage and siels/sluices (11:32); East Frisia as a contested space (14:24); did Childers mistake the age-old practice of dyke-building for German acts of militarism? (16:03); how sluicing also involves sewage and stinking harbour pollution (17:05); the problem of leisure craft waste, and where Carruthers and Davies went to the toilet (19:34). Lloyd notDavies mixes up some pink gin (22:06); we avoid drinking the 'old genever' and savour Doornkaat instead (23:52); James Bond is a pink gin drinker too (27:34); we meet another Doornkaat drinker: Horst Schlämmer (28:48); there's even a Doornkaat musical interlude! (30:07) Club Business: Nick sends us a cartoon of the Kaiser, drawn by Queen Victoria (30:49); Ian tells us what 'ahoy' really means (32:03); Tony on Dulcibella's mizzen mast (33:21); Frank on the very wonderful swimmer Annette Kellerman (34:46); William on his real-life travels throughout the Frisians and the Baltic (37:18); Lloyd NotDavies's frank admission that on our adventure to Queenborough we actually went to *the wrong pier* (39:10).

En la primera parte del programa de hoy charlamos con el prestigioso fotógrafo español arqueológico José Latova. Actualmente tienen una exposición en el mu seo arqueológico regional de Madrid y nos contará sus detalles de su profesión. En segundo lugar, Alfonso Benito, dentro de la sección La Historia en Imágenes, nos hablará de Annette Kellerman, una mujer atrevida y adelantada a su tiempo. En tercer lugar, hablaremos con Feliz Rodríguez sobre los últimos datos sobre el nuevo estilo de petroglifos gallegos descubiertos recientemente. Antes de marcharnos, en la sección "La Historia de las cosas", tratamos la historia del despertador.

Hur gör man när man simmar? Man kan börja med att säga såhär: rent fysiologiskt är vi dåligt rustade. Trots att vi härstammar från en urfisk är våra kroppar inte gjorda för att röra sig genom vattnet. Men ändå, det ska inte heller underskattas att det som en simmare kan göra i vattnet är nåt helt annat än på land. Förvandlas, transformeras. En av den moderna tidens mest legendariska simmerskor - australiensiskan Annette Kellerman gick med benproteser hela barndomen innan hon kom till liv i vattnet. Benen bar henne plötsligt. Vattnet bar henne. Det här programmet handlar om att glida på ytan. Om konsten att flyta. Vi träffar Jane Magnusson och försöker förstå varför människan är så dåligt anpassad för ett liv i vattnet. Långt ute i skärgården bor Sigvard Sundell. Han är fiskare i sjunde generationen. Idag är han 67 år och har precis slutat fiska. Nu sitter han på pinnstolen vid båthuset och tittar ut över ytan. Sara Stridsbergs romanfigurer är alla på väg till havet. Oavsett om det är det lockande, farliga, ruttnande havet. De är på väg dit. Till den där stranden där atlantvågorna slår.
