Jean Parker and Acquanetta (?) as pretty ladies.
YES-! Acquanetta is awesome-! FYI, for those who don’t know who she is:
She retired from movies and became a disk jockey for radio station KPOL (AM) in Los Angeles, CA in 1953. After she married Jack Ross, a car dealer, the couple settled in Mesa, Arizona, and she returned to a degree of celebrity by appearing with Ross in his local television advertisements, and also by hosting a local television show called Acqua’s Corner that accompanied the Friday late-night movies. The couple were prominent citizens, donating to the Phoenix Symphony and the construction of Mesa Lutheran Hospital and founding Stagebrush Theatre. She and Ross had four children, and divorced in the 1980s. In 1987, Acquanetta sold the Mesa Grande ruins to the city of Mesa.
Acquanetta also wrote a book of poetry, The Audible Silence, illustrated by Emilie Touraine (Flagstaff, Arizona): Northland Press, 1974. She did not smoke, and did not drink alcohol, tea, or coffee.
In 1987, the all-girl band The Aquanettas adopted (and adapted) their name from hers.
Acquanetta succumbed to complications of Alzheimer’s disease on August 16, 2004, at Hawthorn Court in Ahwatukee, Arizona. She was 83.
An apocryphal Phoenix legend has Acquanetta, upon learning of her husband’s infidelity, filling the interior of his Lincoln Continental convertible with concrete.*
