Baby Stella was named after Bessie Polack’s sister, Stella Howell, who was the bookkeeper for the concessions. (anon, Buckles Blog)

Records about Stella from William "Buckles" Woodcocks Blog at http://www.bucklesw.blogspot.com/
When we were out in California in 1965 our first season with the Polack Show, we were laying over a few days at Jungleland then Louie Goebel mentioned that he had some punks coming in. Later back on the show I mentioned it to Louie Stern and to my surprise he said "If you want to Kid, go pick one up". Simple as that.
I assumed they would be yearlings or more but unaware they were now being flown in and the smaller the better. "Stella" turned out to be about two months old if that.
