Anita Lhoest

ACTRESS

Anita Lhoest was a 1940s' swimming champion from California, who, like many other athletes, got a one-time shot at the movies. Although she won the role of Daisy Mae for a projected film on Lil Abner (beating out Marilyn Monroe), the film was never made, and her only claim to cinematic fame was the Jungle Jim film Captive Girl (1950).Nevertheless, the attitude her character displays towards animals in the film was genuine, and much of her spare time in later years was spent coming to the aid of animals in distress. Indeed, at her death, the family asked that instead of flowers, donations be forwarded to the National Humane Society.
