Just Kill’em Gillem
A few years ago I got to see the documentary Lipstick and Dynamite, about lady wrestlers from way back in the day. It was the first time I ever saw Gladys “Kill’em” Gillem. I loved her immediately, and did quite a bit of research into her after watching the film. She was a character and a half. I’d imagine if there was a heaven in the traditional sense, St. Peter would be doing something like this:
Peter: {with finger to ear bud}: ”Say what? Who’s coming up? Kill’em Gillem?! {dropping his hand to his side} Oh hell, here we go!”
Wish I could have met her. RIP killer.
