Williams, who was a teenage swimming champion, made her film debut in 1942, and following this short movie MGM created a special sub-genre for her known as \"Aqua Musicals\". Her first swimming role was in Bathing Beauty in 1944 and she lasted to the end of the 50s in swimming roles. Following the decline of the MGM aqua musical, she attempted dramatic roles.
