La Norma--her sheer exuberance in performance set her apart. Although not appropriately credited, she did some of the doubling for Betty Hutton in the DeMille.

We get to see Norma Fox with Willie

Edelstein at the club fairly often

They are both delightful

Norma mentored several young ladies

You bet she did. When Tina Storey took a buster on Merritt Island (I think it was), on the '81 Beatty show. Tina's professional determination and La Norma's skills as a coach, had her heal up, work hard, and return to her act after long, painful weeks of total recovery. This is circus women showing what circus means.

La Norma is seen among those of us interviewed for the upcoming PBS circus documentary, airing 4 hours, in 2 parts, beginning October 8 & 9.
