 Acquanetta, Michael Gordon
Because of her come-hither stare and sensuous pout, Walter Winchell nicknamed her “The Venezuelan Volcano.” In interviews, she claimed Native American roots, and her obituary in 2004 stated that she was born on an Indian reservation near Cheyenne, Wyoming.
In Acquanetta, the mock serious, campy spirit of horror movies is turned inside out in a bravura, one-act deconstruction of the five minutes that changed Acquanetta’s life forever.
In soaring, sometimes comic and always indelible songs that perfectly capture the heightened drama of horror films, these vivid characters reveal their inner longings and emotional shadows in what is ultimately a haunting meditation on the meaning of identity, transformation, stereotypes and typecasting, set in the hey-dey of Hollywood gloss.

 Acquanetta - Overview - MSN Movies
Her adopted name was Mildred Davenport and she had been a Harry Connover model prior to signing with Universal in 1942.
Like her distant relative, the Panther Woman of "The Island of Dr. Moreau", Paula Dupree was part animal, part human but with a tendency to turn back into the former under stress.
Unfortunately, the transformation scenes were rather ill-advised, "Acquanetta" appearing to change from Caucasian girl to African-American to gorilla, a sequence, according to many critics, that conjured up the ridiculous racial theories of the Nazi regime.
