Annette Kellerman, Neptune’s Daughter

Today is the birthday of Australian swimmer, vaudeville performer and film actress Annette Kellerman. The clip above is from her 1914 silent film Neptune’s Daughter and includes many cool mermaid effects. The tantalizingly promised “Mermaidfx.com” appears not to exist, HOWEVER if you go to Mermaidfx’s Youtube page, you will find many other cool mermaid scenes from films. Inspiration for next year’s Mermaid Parade!
