Selma Zimmerman was born in 1893, the daughter of Swiss immigrants who settled in the Pittsburgh area. Selma was a clerk in a local newsstand but went to Oklahoma where she became manager of the café at the 101 Ranch just before the Miller brothers bought the Walter L. Main circus to re-frame as a re-incarnation of their earlier wild west show that toured 1907-16. Selma was with the 101 show until it closed in 1931 and was last with Bob Fisher's Fearless Flyers in 1943-1945, even working as their catcher.
