Best Answer

Actually Rin Tin Tin was awarded to Lee Duncan, a member of the RAF during WWI for helping to save a kennel full of German Shorthair puppies, along with a female Alsatian. The female was Lisette, both puppies named after the dolls the French pilots carried in their jackets for good luck. Lisette died on the transport ship back to America. I am a retired insurance agent and I insured Lee's widow, Eva and his daughter, Carolyn, and have some memorabilia from his movie career, gifts from the family.

Rin Tin Tins litter sister was actually named Nenette after the puppets and she died shortly after arriving in the US. I would love to discuss Rin Tin Tin history with you and see some of your memorabilia.

Did James Sullivan husband of Annette Kellerman discover Rin Tin tin?

No, James Sullivan, the husband of Annette Kellerman, did not discover Rin Tin Tin. Rin Tin Tin was actually discovered by an American soldier named Lee Duncan during World War I. In 1918, Duncan found a litter of German Shepherd puppies in a bombed-out kennel in France and decided to keep two of them. One of the puppies was named Rin Tin Tin, and Duncan brought him back to the United States after the war. Rin Tin Tin went on to become a famous canine actor in Hollywood during the 1920s and 1930s, starring in numerous films and television shows. He gained widespread popularity and became one of the most iconic animal stars in entertainment history. While James Sullivan and Annette Kellerman were notable figures in their own right—Annette Kellerman being a famous swimmer and actress—they were not involved in the discovery or promotion of Rin Tin Tin.
