Lenda Murray is an American professional female bodybuilder, born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1962. A record-holding sprinter and cheerleader in school, she took up bodybuilding in 1984 and earned her professional status at the 1989 IFBB North American Championships. She won her first Ms. Olympia in 1990, succeeding Cory Everson, and held the title through 1995, then returned after a retirement to win again in 2002 and 2003. Her eight overall Ms. Olympia titles made her the second most successful female bodybuilder ever, behind Iris Kyle. Her physique became the standard against which professional women were judged.
