LOS ANGELES - Actress and swimming champ Esther Williams is in the hospital for treatment of a minor infection and will stay there for the rest of the week, the actress' publicist said Tuesday.
The actress is in her mid-80s, and is expected to recover fully, spokesman Harlan Boll said.
"She was just up in bed listening to her favorite music," Boll said. "She's doing fine."
Associated Press sources list Williams' birthday as Aug. 8, 1921. Boll said Tuesday that the actress was born Aug. 8, 1922.
Williams was a swimming champion who turned to acting where she was able to use her aquatic skills in such films as "Easy to Wed," "Neptune's Daughter" and "Dangerous When Wet."
Williams was scheduled to appear at a tribute to actress June Allyson on November 2nd. Elizabeth Taylor will now take her place, Boll said.
