Swimming Champion Eleanor Holm Photographs (70)
Stunning grouping of photos of the swimming beauty best known for her controversial firing from the 1936 Olympic swimming team. Holm was reportedly suspended from the team for drinking a bit too much during the boat ride over to Berlin. Holm, admitting to having had a few drinks, subsequently maintained that her suspension arose from a personal grudge held by Avery Brundage, the team leader. Highlights of the lot include: Glamour photo by Maurice Seymour of Chicago, more cheesecake shots of the beauty in a swimsuit than you can shake a stick at, Holm & Buster Crabbe performing in Aquacade at the 1939 New York World's Fair, ex-husbands, swimming with Johnny Weissmuller and more! Did we mention bathing suit shots? Sizes range from 5x7" to 8x10" and dating from the 1930's to the 1980's. Overall EX- to EX- MT.
