Born into a daring, musical family in 1886, Annette Kellerman was a force of nature destined for the stage. Encouraged to defy social norms from a young age, she initially pursued her love for performance.

After being diagnosed with rickets as a child, she took up swimming for therapy, quickly becoming an Australian champion. She beat boys, broke records, and astonished crowds with her daring dives.
