Mabel Stark (December 10, 1889 – April 20, 1968), whose real name was Mary Ann Haynie,[1] was a renowned tigertrainer of the 1920s.
She was referred to as one of the world's first women tiger trainers/tamers. In its belated obituary, The New York Times lauded Stark as "one of the most celebrated animal trainers in a field dominated by men."[2]
