Carla Ella Wallenda , circus artist in United States Born 1936-02-13 in United States dead 2021 in United States , son of artist Karl Wallenda and artist Helen Wallenda . Her first professional appearance on a high wire placed little Carla not only in the spotlight with her parents, Karl and Helen Wallenda, but also on film with the great Lou Jacob. The Warner Brothers newsreel *, titled Hi Wire Lay Off with Lou Jacob and Little Carla, appeared in cinemas in 1939. Little Carla walked across the wire under the watchful eyes of Papa Karl, always called Vati, and her nervous mother Helen, affectionately known as Mutti. Karl and Helen, the Papa and Mama of the famed Wallenda troupe, arrived in America in 1928, stunning audiences with The Greatest Show on Earth at Madison Square Garden, April 5, 1928. The audience roared stopping the big show for nearly fifteen minutes documented in Fred Bradna’s biography, The Big Top: My forty years with The Greatest Show on Earth. Little Carla arrived a few years later, February 13, 1936. Ella Bradna offered her guidance as godparent, and Helen Wallenda named her new baby Carla Ella Wallenda.
