Trivia
In 1987 Juliet Prowse was mauled by an 80-pound leopard while preparing to go on the show to promote Circus of the Stars #12 (1987). It took 30-40 stitches to reattach part of her left ear. The same animal had mauled her a few months earlier, while rehearsing for Circus of the Stars #12 (1987). That time, she required five stitches.
