Negrita Jayde
1988 North Americans - 3rd Heavyweight One of my all time favorites in the sport, stole the show at the '86 Canadians and here as well. She's undergone a metamorphosis over the years and has written books on the subject of fitness and nutrition chronicling it all. A sad note jogged my memory regarding Negrita, as she was the fiancée of the late Gregory Hines - actor, dancer and a friend of bodybuilding. I recall him in the audience at contests in Seattle, for all I know may have met Negrita at this very show. Let's just call this a tribute to exceptionally good taste! Photos are viewable within each image page. Some sad news to report...Negrita lost her battle with cancer on Aug. 28, 2009. She will be greatly missed. (click thumbnail to enlarge) |
