The Life and Times of Annette Kellerman

Annette Kellerman's fame for her figure and the clothing being bathing suits on it persisted long after the first decade of the 1900s. In 1935, an Associated Press reporter tracked her down and got her opinion on some Satoriel hubbub in Yonkers, New York that was over women wearing shorts. She recalled that it had only been a couple of decades since that time she was arrested but said: "I've always preached the importance of caring for the female figure" Her name is spelled with two ends instead of one end which was apparently a nod to her German heritage that she used when she published her books.
