She competed in various events between 1979 and 1986, and was known for her muscular physique that was ahead of her time. She also made wrestling videos and short action movies that catered to fans of women’s bodybuilding. She later pursued a career in acting and fitness training, working with many celebrities.
Unfortunately, Kay Baxter died in a tragic car accident on May 16, 1988, at the age of 42. She was driving on the wrong side of the road on Mulholland Drive in Los Angeles, California, and swerved to avoid hitting an oncoming motorcycle. Her car flipped and she did not survive the crash. Her passenger, Neil Axe, suffered only minor injuries.
Kay Baxter was a trailblazer in female bodybuilding, and was posthumously inducted into the International Federation of BodyBuilding and Fitness Hall of Fame in 2001. She was admired by many fans and fellow athletes for her dedication, passion, and courage. She once said, “Someone had to stick their neck out for the cause of muscular women, and I’ve got no regrets about that…not one.”
