HW Barnett, Annette Kellerman, 1907 Annette motherfucking Kellerman: overcame childhood physical disabilities to become a professional swimmer, vaudeville and silent film star; first woman to wear a one-piece swimsuit (& consequently first to get arrested for it); first major actress to appear fully nude on camera; her water ballets are considered by many to have singlehandedly invented synchronized swimming; she dove into pools full of crocodiles and wrote aquatic fairy tales; a Harvard professor declared her “the perfect woman” for her measurements matched those of Venus de Milo.
