I’m given to understand she could be something of a hard-nosed no-nonsense personality and wasn’t shy about speaking her mind, either.  Especially where it concerned the state of FBBing and the powers that be that run it. 

Nevertheless, there’s no denying the quality of her physique – another great from a bygone era and many wish that FBBing would return to when FBBing was so popular in pop-culture that it was considered a positive thing for women to get involved in.  8)

I bet that made her RREEAALL popular with ol' Ben Weider and his minions lackeys flying monkeys assistants.

ROFL – I know of where you sarcastically speak, comrade.  But so far as I know she never got banned, for a while, as did Paula Birkenshaw – she had a set of balls to give the Weiderites and their lackey judges the finger at a show she had won (in the overwhelming opinion of the audience), but wasn't awarded the prize that she had earned. 

Sort of similar to what happened a few yrs later to Laura Creavalle, too – was cheated of her Ms O title.  Do we detect a pattern here . . .  😉

Couldn't say, I've not heard anything about her in the time since.  Another Jo, and an Englishwomen, too, to boot, I've wondered about would be the uberbuffed Amazonian Joanna Lee.

I didn't know she was from this neck of the woods, and what a gorgeous woman! 😮

Oh, definitely.  🙂

But Der Fuhrer of Bodybuilding doesn't have to ban someone to torpedo a career. Since he owns just about everything media in the BB world, all he has to do not give them press or pictures in one of his myriad of magazines, have the cameras taping the competition to avoid showing them, influence with the judges.

Ben Weider is to bodybuilding what Bernie Ecclestone and Max Mosley are to Formula 1 racing. Or Tony George was to IndyCar. >:(

As an F1 enthusiast, I like the reference to the little ringmaster, dear Bernie. 8)

Joanne Lee was one of my favorites as well.  Unfortunately, though she remains a very attractive and fit woman, she no longer is an uberbuffed Amazon with the ultramuscular physique that I so liked.  She is a trainer in L.A. of some reputation at present.  http://www.joannelee.com
