"The Queen of Bodybuilding"

Rachel Livia Elizondo McLish, the woman credited with bringing glamour
to women's bodybuilding, first gained fame when she won first
place in the 1980 U.S. Women’s Bodybuilding Championships. Other
titles include Ms. Olympia in 1980 and 1982 and the World Championship
in 1982. McLish left bodybuilding competition when the use of
steroids became a factor, prompting her to crusade against steroid use
and drug abuse in general. Although she has since turned her attention
to acting, writing, and the fashion world, McLish remains dedicated to
promoting physical fitness, especially among women.
