I think a generation of young bodybuilders had a huge crush on her back in the late 80s 90s, so sad, anyone know the cause of death. RIP

I sort of doubt that. No money in it, especially back then...

Got to feel sorry for the 80s-early 90s bunch, weider and co really fleeced them. A lot of pretty, charismatic girls who would have been better off going on other paths.

Vaxxed? Saved?

Only 56 years old.

Too young.

She had throat cancer. Tonya was absolutely beautiful.. inside and outside. A real sweetheart, loved animals, caring, funny. ❤️ I was only thinking about how she was yesterday. Very very sad news.

This news makes Fortress sad.

I definitely had a crush on Tonya.

Never heard a bad word spoken about her.

Tonya, I’m sorry your story ended this way. You will be remembered as a golden girl in bodybuilding’s golden era.

Rest peacefully.

Shocked this isn't stickied, she was easily that big in my mental picture of bodybuilding. (On the other hand stickied posts tend to stay up way too long)

New aggressive cancer, or battling it for some time??

Usually a consequence of HPV. And blowjobs.

Was this meant for Tanya? Or the Melissa James thread?

I imagine she encouraged the "stickieing" of a few magazines back in the day
