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.
=O <3 this woman!
