The original GLOW Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling was a wonderful combination of campy comedy sketches and wrestling matches. Featuring ladies of all sizes, shapes, races and creeds, it was a somewhat short lived but impactful piece of pro wrestlng history that broke ground for women in a male dominated world of pro wrestling. Oh, and I almost forgot, it was a lot of fun too!

The original GLOW girl, the only one to be on all 4 seasons, was "Hollywood" Jeanne Basone. The attractive California girl, who still models to this day, has written her memoir telling all the true stories of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling as well as her active life as a stunt woman, video game sex symbol, and a life long rock and roll chick. The book, available on Amazon now but also available autographed from her Etsy site, is a cool read written by a very interesting and unique person. If you loved GLOW, you'll love this book!

Hollywood joined us for the forst time back during the start of the pandemic. She joins us again here in 2025 to discuss the book and beyond!
