Author Dean Jensen will recount the life and romances of aerialist Lillian Leitzel (1892-1931), one of the greatest circus performers ever.
While she could have been called America’s sweetheart her personal life was not a storybook romance. She married three times and had multiple liasons. We may now think of circuses as children’s entertainment, but Jensen will return us to a time when circus performers held a powerful sexual allure for the public as well as one another.
