Tributes
In 2000 Esther Williams' life and career was portrayed in the Swedish book Esther Williams — Skenbiografin (i.E ~ "Esther Williams — The Fake Biography") by Jane Magnusson; in which the author shares with readers her own fascination for art swimming as a genre and, here, in particular, Williams as — to the author — both a bewildering and mesmerizing front figure and icon in this field.
There has been a resurgence of interest in Williams and her legacy as typified by the Los Angeles based, water ballet dance company Aqualillies, and TCM surrounding the release of Million Dollar Mermaid on TCM and more recently for her 90th birthday for which Aqualillies released a tribute video.
