Wrestling Classic: Jane Russell vs. Esther Williams From 1950! This fight looks like it was the fifth in a long series - the tie-breaker. Esther signed for this match to perpare for an upcoming fight with Marie Windsor and it is often overlooked; being treated more as a training match than a 'legitimate contest.' Nevertheless, both women took it seriously!

Wrestling Classic: Jane Russell vs. Esther Williams From mid-1951. These two women had developed a real, visceral, disliking for one another over time. This is possibly the fifth match in a series - depending on which historical reference you use - between two evenly-matched women.

This was the first of several fights with these two legends (a series sadly shortened by Mansfield's untimely early death in an autombobile accident.)

Catfight Classic: Jacqueline Bisset vs. Lauren Bacall (catfight) In the 1970's, many young actresses thought Lauren Bacall's acting AND fighting careers had both run their course. Jackie Bisset found, to her dismay, that the old cat's claws were still sharp after all!

Wrestling Classic: The Photos (wrestling) For years there were rumors of a fight between Barbara Eden and Stella Stevens. This report appears to confirm it. (Note: Both women appear in the Mitzi in Hollywood story as teenagers. This fight takes place later in their careers.)

Time Travel Classic: Barbara Feldon vs. Marilyn Monroe 'Get Smart' star Feldon always wondered how she'd fare against the legendary Monroe. Now, thanks to a time machine, Barbara gets her wish!

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Angie Dickinson In 1960, Mitzi faced tough young up-and-coming Angie Dickinson at the Sands Hotel/Casino. Mitzi said, "I saw something." Was it the end of the tunnel or just the headlight of an on-coming train?

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Jocelyn Lane The 1960's saw a resurgence of what was dismissed at the time as "bimbo boxing". Jocelyn Lane was one of the top "beach bunnies" in B-movies at the time while Mitzi was near the end of her career as a major motion picture icon.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Janet Leigh During the decade of the 1960's saw many familiar screen names turn to boxing to supplement their income. Others had been doing it for a while and it showed when they met in the ring. Mitzi's screen career was near it's premature end while Janet's was starting to plateau. Both women were hoping for a 'bounce' out of this match.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Gina Lollabrigida Another classic fistic match from the incomparable 'simguy'. It's the early 1960's and Mitzi's facing a much heavier woman; a classic Italian big body banger. She has to try something different to avoid biting the dust yet again.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Ann Margaret A ringside report (possibly transcribed from a reporters notes) of one of Mitzi's fights when she was at the height of her popularity. This was the fight in which Mitzi proved she was "for real" as a boxer, something she did infrequently.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Marilyn Monroe Another of Mitzi's brutal boxing matches. Remember, in the 50's gloves weren't as good as today and they didn't wear headgear.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Bettie Page Page never made it as a legit actress, but the studios used her as a 'trial horse' when they wanted to test a young woman. Mitzi hates fighting shorter women. This was one of Mitzi's first fights.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Debra Paget Mitzi hates fighting women shorter than she is. She really has problems when they can duck inside and work over her soft, curvy body.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Raquel Welch Late in her career, Raquel Welch finally granted Mitzi the fight Gaynor had been seeking for a decade. Older, softer, but heavier, Mitzi can't resist the siren call of the ring for one more fight.

Boxing Classic: Mitzi Gaynor vs. Esther Williams From the same period. This bout took place shortly after the one reported above. Again, these look like notes transcribed during/after the fight by someone who was at ringside for the match.

Boxing Classic: Marilyn Monroe vs. Bettie Page Bettie Page was one of the great unsung fighters of the 'classic' era. Here's an example of her ability several years after her fight with Mitzi (below).

Boxing Classic: Kim Novak vs. Gina Lollobrigida Kim Novak braves a long trip to face Gina in Southern Italy. Was the trip a mistake, or did it only seem so in retrospect?

Boxing Classic: Mae West vs. Clara Bow A well-researched account of the much debated fight between two early 20's glamor stars. Includes a summary of the fight and there's even a bonus, a West-Boardman bout! Don't miss this - one of the most thorough match stories we've seen in many years.

Boxing Classic: Susan Hayward vs. Debra Paget During the 1950's Susan Hayward was considered a "journeyman" boxer. Later, her reputation increased in light of the subsequent records of her victims. Debra Paget in this fight was much younger and less experienced than Susan.

Boxing Classic: Shirley Eaton (Goldfinger) vs. Jill St.John (Diamonds are Forever) Two Bond girls meet in a classic sluggers brawl.

Boxing Classic: Sophia Loren vs. Ann Margret From the mid-1960's. This was their much ballyhooed rematch after Sophia had upset Margaret in their first bout.

Boxing Classic: Loni Anderson vs. Raquel Welch This match took place in the 1980's, well after Raquel's career had started to wane. Loni Anderson was one of the "new breed", a buxom blond pumped up with TV hype and years of gym work.

Boxing Classic: Jayne Mansfield vs. Mamie van Doren Two busty blonde bombshells lace on the gloves with the intent to do 'bodily harm' to one another. When the smoke has cleared, one blonde is left standing over the body of her beaten opponent.

Toward the end of her long career, Betty Grable faced Anita Ekberg, the 1950 Miss Sweden and a woman who was not only 15 years younger but had a big size advantage to boot. All Grable had was her ring experience and a champions heart. Two of the all-time favorite blonde battlers from this Classic Era.

Boxing Classic: Tina Louise vs. Julie Newmar A mid-60's bout involving two tall fighters. Tina Louise, the big redhead on the "Gilligan's Island" TV show meets big dancer Julie Newmar who played 'Stupifyin' Jones' in the movie "Lil Abner". Recreated from a reporters ringside notes recently found.
