RIP, The Fabulous Moolah

http://www.dazereader.com/24001067.htm One of the great 1950s trash culture sex symbols has died at age 84. RIP, The Fabulous Moolah.

For more than half a century, as a wrestler, promoter and trainer, the Fabulous Moolah was a leading figure on the women’s circuit. She held versions of the women’s wrestling championship for all but short intervals from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s. [...]

First, she apprenticed as a valet for Nature Boy Buddy Rogers; she was billed as Slave Girl Moolah and clad in a leopard-skin outfit. Soon, she was wrestling as the Fabulous Moolah, and she won the championship belt in 1956. On July 1, 1972, when the New York State Athletic Commission lifted a ban on women’s wrestling, she was the featured attraction at Madison Square Garden.

She received some Betty Page-like recognition as a trailblazing badass bad girl in the 2004 documentary Lipstick & Dynamite. More at FabulousMoolah.com.
