High maintenance!!!
Quote:Her quick temper was legendary. It was not uncommon to witness Leitzel cursing or slapping a roustabout who did not adjust her rigging exactly to her liking.
Quote:On February 13, 1931, she fell to the ground from her rigging while performing in Copenhagen, Denmark at the Valencia Theatre, when the swivel that held the rope in place fractured and snapped.
Sounds like a 50/50 chance of tampering to me...
