Jayne Kennedy back in the 70s

https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME13NTVT

For those too young to remember her. 

Jayne Kennedy (born Jane Harrison on October 27, 1951 in Washington, D.C.) is an American actress, model and sportscaster.

Jayne was crowned Miss Ohio USA 1970 (she was the first African American woman to win the title), and was one of the 10 semi-finalists in the 1970 Miss USA pageant. It was rare for an African American woman at that time to be in the contest. While starting her modeling career, she met Leon Isaac Kennedy, who was a DJ and a struggling actor/writer. They fell in love and married in 1970. Motown's Smokey Robinson served as best man at the wedding. They moved to California to pursue careers in acting. During the 1970s, she had over 10 notable TV guest appearances, and roles in seven movies. In 1978, she was one of the first women to infiltrate the male-dominated world of sports announcing with a role on The NFL Today.

I thought this was going to be a thread about cigarettes. 😕 Why are Alan and Redd both wearing pinky rings?

Man, I was just hitting puberty in 1978.  I had it hard for her.  Many times.  :banana:

What happened to Ross? She go crazy or something? 

Not sure what you mean ? A Google search says she's 84 years old & living a quiet life with her husband Sam Elliot.

Adrian Adonis, Andre the Giant, Murdoch, Bob Backlund, & King Kong Bundy. Sometime in the 80s

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fadrian-adonis-andre-the-giant--murdoch-bob-backlund-v0-gpd97jieubnf1.jpeg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3Df8bc0ff6935b6ca15b632e8abffdedce2fddda65

I saw that on Reddit and commented I never knew Backlund and Bundy were active at the same time. Also look how tiny Bob looks. He’s not exactly tiny.

I would've wondered the same thing. I'm probably wrong, but it seems like Backlund hadn't been champion since way back in the late 70s.
