I always took it for granted that there would be life after Hollywood.
From Esther Williams
We can't all win Olympic medals. Even I never won one.
Everything about my teenage life was almost ideal.
Three events. Three gold medals. I was news, big news, in the sports world.
The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers, and as a national champion, I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.
Life magazine ran a page featuring me and three other girls that was clearly the precursor of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.
