She started working for the Slim Kelly and Whitney Sutton sideshow of James E. Strates Shows at the age of 24 as a lecturer (educator on albinism) before being trained in sword swallowing and later performing in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus.

She learned sword swallowing from Ricky Richiardi in Gibsonton, Florida, in 1969.

In the mid-1970s she married and performed with Harold “Big Jim” Spohn, billed as “the fat man”.

From 1975 to 1977 she held the Guinness World Records title for most swords swallowed simultaneously by a woman (five swords). Provided by Wikipedia
