Note: Annette Kellerman (1886-1975), swimmer, aquatic performer and film actress, was born on 6 July 1886 at Marrickville, Sydney. She became a long distance swimmer and made a career of her swimming and diving show on stage and later in films. Her arrest in Boston in 1907 for wearing an "indecent" one piece swimming costume helped change the law for swimwear. Esther Williams later made a film based on her life called Million Dollar Mermaid and made her own career in aquatic entertainment on film.
