Born 1921 as Mildred Davenport in Newberry, South Carolina, American actress Acquanetta started her career as a model in New York City with Harry Conover and John Robert Powers.

Mostly known for her “exotic” beauty, Acquanetta signed with Universal Studios in 1942 and acted mostly in B-movies, including Arabian Nights, The Sword of Monte Cristo, Captive Wild Woman and Jungle Woman, in which Universal attempted to create a female monster movie series with Acquanetta as a transformative ape.

After her contract with Universal expired, Acquanetta signed on with Monogram Pictures but did not appear in any movies; she then signed with RKO where she acted in her only big-budget movie, Tarzan and the Leopard Woman.

Acquanetta died in 2004 at the age of 83. Here are some fabulous photos of a young Acquanetta in the 1940s.
