Anita Reynolds (née Thompson, formerly Dickinson; March 28, 1901 – December 1980) was an African American model, dancer, and actress.

Moving on from acting, Reynolds circulated international artistic circles and in the fashion scene, finding a career in modeling.

She was then married later in her life in St. Croix, United States Virgin Islands, to a White American, Guy Oliver Reynolds.

[1] Reynolds traveled easily between the mostly white bohemia of Greenwich Village and the clubs and salons of Harlem, seemingly meeting everyone who was anyone.

She was able to move on to Paris and then to the expatriate colony in Morocco, along the way collecting lovers, several aborted writing projects and a torrent of acquaintances with droppable names, including James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Paul Bowles, Gertrude Stein, E. E. Cummings, Pablo Picasso and Coco Chanel.
