Jackie Paisley

Jackie Paisley was a professional female bodybuilder from Scottsdale, Arizona, in the United States. As a college student she attended both Carnegie Mellon University and Arizona State University on a music scholarship and was drawn into bodybuilding after gaining a reputation as one of Arizona's top aerobics instructors. She attended her first state-wide bodybuilding show in 1982 and began to compete immediately afterward, and in 1989 she was challenging Cory Everson for the world championship on the Olympia stage. After winning almost every bodybuilding show she ever entered she was known for being lean, musclebound and in good condition for every show, and her background in ballet and her dynamic presence on stage propelled her to the elite level of the sport for nearly a decade.
