Cynthia Chenault

Cynthia Chenault was born on January 5, 1937 in Hammond, Louisiana. She entered the film industry during the late 1950s, a period marked by the rise of drive-in horror and youth-oriented cinema in the United States. Her only documented screen credit is the 1957 feature I Was a Teenage Werewolf, in which Chenault appeared in a supporting role.

The film became a cult classic and remains a reference point in discussions of 1950s B-movie horror. Chenault’s appearance in the production situates her within a broader cultural moment when genre films often relied on ensemble casts to populate narratives of transformation and conflict. Her contribution to I Was a Teenage Werewolf is the sole professional credit on record.
