A man who could give Chesty Mortimer or Jerry Bangs a run for their money in the "What-Were-You-Thinking-When-You-Came-Up-With THAT-Makeup" Sweepstakes, Mr. Buzzy Potts.
As weird as his makeup seems, Buzzy was featured extensively in the DeMille film THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH.
Quite a few of Buzzy's props are in the collection of Circus World Museum in Baraboo, WI.

Worked with Buzzy in the mid 1940's on the Clyde Bros Circus. Over the holiday break he traveled to Minnesota with us and spent the holidays with. It was a pleasure to know him.
