In the 1952 souvenir program for World Jungle Compound, a photo ID's Emma doubling for Minyak, the elephant Angel (Gloria Grahame) hugs and thanks for pulling the cage front off Brad after the train wreck. Emma, of course, was housed 34 miles up the road, in Thousand Oaks, and this scene was shot on DeMille's wreck set at Paramount, down in Hollywood. The real Minyak was at home in Sarasota Winterquarters. I don't have Emma's history, but she was not in the Compound herd of 7 when I arrived in '65.
