An Ohio native, Beatty was a member of Cleveland's Sirat Grotto. Read his book THE BIG CAGE for his account of re-capturing the escaped tigress Venus, in the Grotto building while it was still under construction.

Another Ohio boy, born in Cleveland, was Anthony Patrick Vitanza, who, like legions of youth the world around, became lifelong Beatty fans. But this youngster followed through, learned his craft, and became known to the circus world as Pat Anthony.
