Annette Kellerman, 1916

Hand-tinted publicity image of Kellerman. Annette Kellerman says she never needed a stunt double in any of her films. She also talks about her infamous swim in a pool full of crocodiles on the shoot for the silent feature A Daughter of the Gods (Herbert Brenon, USA, 1916). The Bill Fox she refers to is film’s producer William Fox. Link to interview from 1974, here. | src NFSA
