Esther Williams to Return as Texas Carnival Star
Esther Williams returns to work sooner than MGM expected after delivering a baby six weeks early. She helped move into a new home with the Gages, and the child Kimball Austin arrived early. Williams’ next film will be Texas Carnival with Red Skelton, with Gene Autry possibly in a top role, as Hollywood’s Western-hero lineup expands with Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, and Bob Hope projects. Constance Bennett’s Will You Love Me in December? is highlighted as a strong part for her, delaying Germany and Colonel Coulter to rejoin Darryl Zanuck.
