Cory Everson Revisited

This is Cory Everson's third appearance on this blog and I think rightly so.

Retiring from competition after winning six consecutive Ms. Olympia titles, Cory tried her hand at acting.
Her first film appearance was in the 1986 movie "The Morning After" as Miss Olympia.
Double Impact in 1991 was her second movie. In that movie, she played Kara, a ruthless, muscular henchwoman to the main badguy.
In 1994, she was in Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers as the TV Mallory.
She appeared in the 1995 film Ballistic. (Not the 2002 film with Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu.)
In 1996, she was in the movie Felony as Sondra with B-movie legends (and two of my favorite actors) Jeffrey Combs and Lance Henriksen.

On TV, Cory appeared twice as Katrina Schwenke in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. (starring another of my favorite actors, Bruce Campbell).
She also appeared in Renegade, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (three times as Atalanta), Tarzan: The Epic Adventures, Home Improvement and Charmed as the Hulk Paige.

Of course Cory was the original host of the ESPN2 fitness show, BodyShaping that also included Deprise Brescia, Kiana Tom, Jennifer Dempster, Rick Valente, Kendell Hogan, Mary Jean Traetta and Laurie Donnelly.

And for awhile she had her own exercise show on ESPN, Cory Everson's Gotta Sweat.

Joanie Laurer, Chyna

Before she became the "The Ninth Wonder of the World" Joanie Laurer aka Chyna tried her hand at fitness competitions.
According to everything I've read, she didn't do well, but I think that's because with her size and build, she should have focused on Bodybuilding instead.
But the fitness worlds loss was pro wrestling's gain and she soon appeared on the then WWF as Triple H's bodyguard valet.

Joanie started out lifting weights and working out as a way to get away from the domestic turmoil at home.
But it wasn't really until she met Gerry Blais, a bodybuilder at World Gym in Londonderry, New Hampshire that things took off for her.
She dove into training and entered fitness competitions.
The only ones I could really find were the 1994 ESPN Fitness America Competition and the 1996 New York City regional of the Fitness America Pageant.

Fitness Model: Monica Starr

This personal trainer and fitness model was born in a small town in Kansas.

I even did an entry on her myself awhile back here.

Monica Brant, Fitness Legend?

It's been a while since we've had a Monica Brant entry, so I though we were overdue.
This lady has creds that go from a win at the 1991 Fitness USA Preliminary, to placing 7th at the 2007 Figure Olympia.
And unlike a lot of other female fitness models from the 90's, she hasn't disappeared.
Her website, http://www.monicabrant.com/, is still active and growing.
Is it too early to apply the term " fitness legend"?
