Review of Mabel, Mabel, Tiger Trainer

I first became aware of this incredible woman's life story from reading the Robert Hough novel, _The Final Confession of Maple Stark_. Terrific book, but if you'd like a less romanticized, documentary take on Stark the woman and her recorded experiences, this film is also terrific. (It's especially cool if you grew up in the San Fernando Valley like me ;) At one time Kate Winslet owned the feature film rights to Mabel's story and was even going to play her! That would've been great. But hopefully another talented filmmaker will get the chance to bring Mabel Stark's unique story to worldwide audiences. Mabel deserves it.
