WWE is saddened by the passing of Lillian Ellison, who was known to sports-entertainment fans as Hall of Famer Fabulous Moolah. She passed away last night in Columbia, S.C. In the world of women's wrestling, there will always be one irrefutable legend that stands head and shoulders above the rest: The Fabulous Moolah. She was the longest reigning champion in the history of her chosen sport, or any sport for that matter. And with more than 50 years in the business to her credit, she established a legacy that will never be forgotten, making her name synonymous with female wrestling. - WWE.comMan I just re-read her book too - interesting read whether you're a fan of wrestling or not. If you're interested in knowing more about the Fabulous
Moolah, check out the documentary Lipstick & Dynamite - she features prominently in the film which covers pretty much the entire history of women's wrestling.
WWE.com has a
page devoted to current and former wrestlers memories of
Moolah and
Slam Wrestling has a pretty interesting career retrospective online as well. Check 'em out.
