Kay Baxter

Kay Baxter, born on October 3, 1945, and died on May 16, 1988, was a pioneer female bodybuilder. She competed in women's bodybuilding from 1979 to 1986, including four IFBB Ms. Olympia competitions between 1982 and 1985. She was inspirational for many up-and-coming female bodybuilders, especially those who desired a physique that would be large and muscular even by bodybuilding standards, and she was a groundbreaker in making wrestling videos and short action movies for fans of women's bodybuilding. She had been a collegiate gymnast at Kent State University and was still quite well muscled when she took up bodybuilding in her mid-30s. The article notes that many believed she was the female bodybuilder in the song California Girls by David Lee Roth, whom she trained at Gold's Gym in Venice, California, but that this was actually Teagan Clive.
