In the '50s and '60s, wrestling fans were treated to the exciting ring work of Judy Grable.
One of the first female high-flyers, Grable used her quick feet to lift off for graceful aerial moves and for kicking her opponents in the face.
She was nearly as famous for her acrobatic wrestling style as she was for her movie-star looks and the fact that she wrestled barefoot.
Grable was trained by the Fabulous Moolah who later became her friend and in-ring rival. She didn't have the impact that Moolah did, but it is still talked about today, some 50 years after her retirement.
