Never saw her, only a few of her chimps. Thanks for confirming my guess Jimmy. She worked nightclubs in the 1960s, close to the public (possible chimp problems). When some of her chimps got large she sold them to Mike Kostial at the St. Louis Zoo's big chimp show. The Zoo's stage was separated from the audience by two water moats so big male chimps might work until they were 12 or 13 years old. I remember her chimps arrived well trained with a number of behaviors.

AKA "Fifi", an exceptionally colorful personality by all accounts.
