The Original Mermaid
mcade31 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
This is a wonderful documentary about Ms. Kellerman that gives many little known facts about her and shows some rare clips & footage not otherwise available.

I had to obtain a copy of it from the production company out of Australia in order to see it, but it was well worth the wait.

There is very little information that exists about Ms. Kellerman in the modern era but during her lifetime she was a swimmer, stage performer, author, fitness personality, and shrewd businesswomen, which was really not common for most women at that time.

Most women were homemakers and tended the children at that time and did not earn the right to vote until 1920. By 1920, she had been on the stage; swam great distances; acted in the motion pictures; wrote several books and started her own fitness clubs.

Anyone that would like to find out more information about this interesting woman should check this out!
