A lady with a tiger by the tail and blissfully ignorant of the fact, is Mrs. Veronica G. Wadsworth, of Warner, New Hampshire, who hauls lustily away at the big cat while singing a chorus of “Hold That Tiger.” The stunt took place during an NBC telecast of “Truth or Consequences” from Hollywood when M.C. Bob Barker (left) convinced Mrs. Wadsworth that she was only pulling the tail of a tiger suit worn by fellow contestant John H. Bostrom (right), of San Gabriel, California. Just to keep things on the safe side, trainer Melvin Koontz soothes the 350-pound cat. Credit: Bettmann Collection / Getty Images
