Scarlet "The Perforated Lady" Torkelson was a 1930s circus performer, best known as the assistant to epileptic knife-thrower Sil Manfretti.
A biography was later written about her life, Scarlet Torkelson: Circus Performer.
Background Information[]
- "Perforated" means "pierced with holes," suggesting Sil is perhaps not the most skilled knife-thrower.
