For the curious, Super Circus was a weekly show on ABC from 1949-1956. Mary Hartline (her real name!) is mostly forgotten today, but at the time she was something of a sensation, especially to young males, and became known as "television's first sex symbol." Really.
But despite the short skirts and boots, don't forget the show also featured this:

Clowns. CLOWNS!!!
Mary Hartline was very well-known in Chicago and last I knew, still made appearances at shows.
Marx toys even made a small vinyl figure of Mary for it's circus playset.
