Whatever happened to Acquanetta?

If you lived in Arizona in the 60s and 70s, you know who Acquanetta was, but what else do you know about her?
Did you know that Universal Studios nicknamed her “The Venezuelan Volcano”, but her birth name was Mildred Davenport. She was born in Ozone, Wyoming in 1921 and passed away in 2004 in Arizona. She appeared in several B movies before marrying Jack Ross and giving up her career to appear in commercials for Ross’ car dealerships.
I remember Jack Ross would give away Acquanetta deals with every purchase of a Lincoln or a Mercury. I wonder if the dolls ever show up on ebay?
