Ohioan Eleanor Parker chose a career in acting when she was still in her teens and began appearing in professional stage productions in Cleveland and at California's Pasadena Playhouse.
As the sluttish Mildred in the 1946 remake Of Human Bondage, Parker was not nearly as effective as Bette Davis in the 1934 version, but she learned from this comparative failure and matured into a versatile actress, equally adept at comedy and heavy dramatics.
Still regally beautiful into the 1960s and 1970s, Eleanor Parker was always worth watching no matter if the role was thankless (the Countess in Sound of Music [1965]) or "Baby Jane"-style horrific (the terrorized, elderly cripple in Eye of the Cat [1969]).

The year is 1901, and Joanna (Eleanor Parker) hails from New Orleans, but has embarked on an adventure to South America and the Amazon Jungle.
She has agreed to be married to Leiningen (Charlton Heston), a plantation owner she has never met, but she knew his brother for some time, and they both arranged the union.
As Parker suffers prettily, with the oppressive heat of the environment obviously getting on everyone's nerves, Heston puts in a rather one note performance, with the scenes where he philosophises about his "complex" personality unintentionally amusing.

 The Naked Jungle (1954): Charlton Heston, Eleanor Parker - PopMatters Film Review
His antagonist, the New Orleans-raised Joanna, is played by Eleanor Parker, one of those near-forgotten stars of the '40s and '50s, who brought intelligence as well as elegance to her work (including Caged [1950], for which she was Oscar-nominated, and Scaramouche [1952]).
While Pal and Haskin depict the insects as a literal antagonist, you can read their invasion as the metaphorical outpouring of all the withheld tension in the environment, and Leiningen.
Despite the relative primitivism of the technology available to the filmmakers, the climactic sequence retains a fair amount of tension and momentum, due to the clarity of the images, the rhythm of the editing, the percussive dynamics of score, and most of all, the robust physicality of Heston's scrambling through the overrun plantation.
