Tiny Kline (born Helén Deutsch,[1] June 21, 1891 - July 5, 1964)[2] was a Hungarian-born[3] circus performer.
Kline's most well-known act was the "slide for life," a variation of traditional iron jaw performance in which she slid down a wire from tall buildings or other structures by her teeth.
The article stated that Kline was arrested for dancing in "what the authorities declared [sic] was too scanty attire."
In 1917, on the second anniversary of Otto's death, Kline performed in the Roman standing race at the same venue, stating "we circus people have to learn to hide our sorrows under many bright colors.
[10] One of her most notable slides for life occurred in 1932 when Kline slid from the top of the Hotel Edison to the roof of the Prospect Theatre in New York City's famed Times Square, a distance of more than 200 yards at a height of 27 stories.
Kline was scheduled to return as Tinker Bell that same year, but she died from stomach cancer before coming out of retirement.
[13] At the time of her death Kline left the bulk of her estate to the Clara de Hirsch Home for Working Girls.
