The only on-screen pairing of Eleanor and Esther Williams, her natural successor at MGM. Both were fearless self-starters who essentially invented the formats in which they shone: Eleanor, the unique melding of dance styles as a solo hoofer in front of big chorus lines; Esther, the watery equivalent leading a troupe of formation swimmers. Many key personnel from Eleanor's unit went on to work with Esther. Between 1935 and 1955 their stardom spanned and greatly influenced the blending of song, dance and story which made Metro the #1 producer of 'filmusicals'.
