Kayletta
Posted By thecircusblog on January 17, 2012
Kayletta joined the Siebrand Bros Circus in the mid 1950’s. Her high pole aerial act was exceptional. She did every trick in the book and finished with a slide for life. I had a great deal of respect for her. Kayletta was a single lady and would set up and take down her rigging by herself and never ask for help. Kay was from the old school, she definitely was a pro. As the years passed on the circus she met Jack Gorden. He worked in the electrical on the show and then one day they were married. Kay continued to do her aerial act the only thing that changed was Jack was now putting up her rigging. Kayletta performed on the Siebrand circus for at lest 15 years. If I remember correctly she retired from her act at the age of 69. Kayletta and Jack still continued with the show until the very end.

Thanks for great information and pictures. I found Kayletta but I haven’t found any info on her husband Jack Gordon who was an all around guy on the show.
Any information on him would be greatful.
