Annette Kellerman: Home Movie
Title:
Annette Kellerman: Home Movie
NFSA ID
567
Year
1956
Annette Kellerman was 70 years old when this silent home movie footage was filmed.
Her athleticism is very much in evidence - particularly as she strikes synchronised swimming poses in the ocean in the second half of the footage.
She lived in Queensland until her death in 1975.
