Mini Biographie

Aquanetta was a b-rated movie actress (born as Mildred Davenport) in Ozone, Wyoming in 1921. She was nicknamed the "Venezualan Volcano" by Universal Studios.

She starred in Tarzan and the Leopard Woman. Acquanetta also had small parts in Arabian Nights, Jungle Woman, Dead Man's Eyes, Lost Continent and Grizzly Adams - The Legend Continues.

In the 1950s she moved to Phoenix and married the owner of a local Phoenix car dealership. She achieved local celebrity status with numerous ads for their dealership. She also had her own TV program, "Acqua's Corner", that accompanied the Friday Night Movies.

Acquinetta also authored a book in 1974 called "The Audible Silence". This well written poetry book is about life, love, and Indian jewelry (she was from Arapaho decent). She was often seen in her trademark long black braids and beautiful silver & turquoise jewelry.

Acquinetta used her celebrity and charming personality to support/raise money for a number of cultural groups and charities including: Mesa Lutheran Hospital, the Heard Museum, the Phoenix Indian School, Stagebrush Theatre, and the Phoenix Symphony.
