Her life ended tragicalIy just outside of JungleIand in Thousand Oaks, CA, and her legacy and the golden era of the American circus is recounted by former animaI traiIers, performers and historian Janet Davis, with MabeI s voice, from her memoir Hold That Tiger , provided by Oscar ®-winner MeIissa Leo. |
