Acquanetta <span class="SFPTagline"> From SCIFIPEDIA </span>  Acquanetta (Burnu Davenport, aka Mildred Davenport) (July 17, 1921 – August 16, 2004) was an American actor. Although described as the “Venezuelan Volcano” by her friend, newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst, the exotic-looking actress was actually born on an Arapaho Native American reservation in Wyoming. Starting out as a model in New York, she landed a small role in Arabian Nights (1942) before being officially “introduced” by Universal Studios as Paula, the Gorilla Girl in Captive Wild Woman (1943). She recreated that thankless role in Jungle Woman (1944) before asking the studio for a release from her contract. After retiring from the screen, she married a number of times and hosted local TV and radio shows in Arizona. External links
