Kathy Segal

Kathy Segal, born Kathy Huddy in Miami, Florida, is an American bodybuilding champion who rose to the top of the amateur ranks by winning the Ms. International Bodybuilding Championship, which was generally considered the second-most prestigious competition for female bodybuilders behind only the Ms. Olympia. Her family relocated to the area of Atlantic City, New Jersey, where she was raised. She did not compete in sports or athletics, attended the Sonnenfeld School of Modeling and competed in beauty contests, and in 1970 she was one of the local beauty queens who appeared in the Miss America Pageant Parade. She got an unusually late start for a bodybuilder, beginning training in her late 20s.
