Annette Marie Sarah Kellermann (1887 - 1975), Australian professional swimmer, vaudeville star, film actress, writer, and business owner. Kellermann was one of the first women to wear a one-piece bathing costume, instead of the then-accepted pantaloons, and inspired others to follow her example. Kellerman's swimming costumes became so popular, that she started her own fashion line of one-piece bathing suits. Kellermann helped popularize the sport of synchronised swimming; and authored a swimming manual. She appeared in several movies, usually with aquatic themes, and as the star of A Daughter of the Gods was the first major actress to appear nude in a Hollywood production. Kellermann was an advocate of health, fitness, and natural beauty throughout her life. On 24 August 1905, aged 19, Kellermann was one of the first women to attempt to swim the English Channel.
