    She was so gorgeous. Here's a youtube compilation of what she did, if anyone is too young to remember...

    Her body in those costumes...WOW! People could barely kiss onscreen back then, Esther must have been almost soft core porn for those times!

    She was beautiful and healthy looking not skin and bones.
    I loved watching her movies when I home sick as a kid.
    If you get a chance to watch one of her interviews DO IT, she was a class act.

    I will always have the memories of watching her movies with my mom. Hopefully I can pass that on to my daughter.

    Oh my goodness, one of the greats. Glad she had a long life; hope it was filled with happiness. As a girl, raised by a mom who loves Classic Hollywood, I watched many of her movies. They were among my favorite musicals - what a production!

    I like hearing news of people dying when it's someone who lived a long life, full and happy as far as is known. In these situations, it can be a celebration of a good life, rather than mourning, y'know? Ditto for Jean Stapleton last week.

    What Figgy said. 91 is pretty good, nice work Mrs. Williams.

    I loved watching Esther's movies. She was so beautiful and an amazing athlete. I read her autobiography when it came out, she led quite an interesting life. RIP.

    She's very beautiful and I think it's just the angle, but my goodness her feet look quite large in this picture. RIP.

    She was such a gorgeous woman. No photoshop, plastic surgery or veneers, just sheer, natural beauty and talent.

    I used to watch those old movies with my grandmother. Loved the ones with Ms. Williams, because they were beautiful, as was she.
