Biograph

– The pair attracted legitimate animosity, as a young black girl acting as valet for a white man caused a degree of outrage in what was a very conservative area
– Newton followed Slater to the UWF, but the pair split when he moved on to the WWF. She went on to manage The Missing Link, aswell as feuding with Missy Hyatt
– In 1987, Newton moved to JCP where she became the valet for Tully Blanchard and the Four Horsemen
– After The Great American Bash ’87, Newton left the wrestling business
