Mallkova
Posted By thecircusblog on April 9, 2012
I truly hope I spelled Mallkova’s name correctly. Dad and I worked many a show with her. She was indeed a fine lady and a great performer. This is a Bill Biggerstaff photo. It was taken in 1968 on the Rudy Circus. I called Bill and told him that I had found one of his photos in my collection. I explained the photo to him and asked him if he remembered it. He then chuckled and said,”I have shot over 10 thousand photos.” It got silent for a second or two and then he said “NO but if my name is on the back of it YES.” Well Bill Biggerstaff’s name is on the back with a Hollywood address.
Thank you Carol for the spelling correction.

Almost correct, Ivan – The second a should be an “I” – Malikova. First name was Zenka, which could have been a shortening of her name, or a nickname. But we always called her Zenka.
She was a Berasini. Aunt of Josephine Berosini and other berosini circus people
