Ringling Red Unit Lady Clowns 1979


The female members of the 1979 Ringling Red Unit Clown Alley. From left to right Tina (Stotts) Kitt, Peggy Williams, Ruthie Chaddock, Danise (Wilson) Payne, and Kathy Herb.

You can hear plenty of wonderful stories about these women and many more clowns and circus personalities in Danise's excellent book, Elbows in my Ears: My Life with Little People, Tigers, and Wardrobe Trunks.


This photo is a new one for me; I've never seen it before. If you enjoy seeing rare clown photos and video clips on this blog, consider a donation to the International Clown Hall of Fame. 

Help us continue to archive and document clown history so it can be accessed by future generations. 

We currently have a fundraiser goingand we have recently been told that a very generous supporter of the ICHOF has offered to match every dollar up to our goal of $2,000!

We are over halfway there, so help us reach the finish line HERE!
