what was the cause of teagan clive's death?
Teagan is alive and well living out in Thousand Oaks, CA with her husband Stan. He’s some very well paid Hollywood producer director. She’s in good shape but WAY slimmed down. She just posted on my FB page yesterday. I occasionally get an e-mail from her and she attends the LA Fit Expo nearly every year.
Maybe you were thinking of Mishay Santos (not sure about C of D), Kay Baxter (car accident), Annie Rowe (cancer), Candy Csencsits (cancer), Shellie Beatie (suicide)?
Truly part of the golden age of bodybuilding. Sadly I was only born in 1980 so I obviously didn't care for bodybuilding during those years but my golden years was the late 90's. Stuff just seemed more real back then, people more helpful and smiles more easy. We were a group of 3 guys and a gal that trained together. Everyone was there to get shit done but afterwards half the gym would visit Mochacha's Chicken next door and socialise until the early hours.
Sounds like a group of people who would have fit right in at Gold’s Venice during that era. Most of us who trained there had come from other parts of the country and trained just the way you described. You’d be surprised but most of the top guys were just down to earth guys who loved to train and loved to have new people join in during their workouts. That’s how I got to train with most of them. I’d be training nearby. I’d spot them or they’d spot me and we’d start training together. Then they’d ask me what I was training tomorrow and next thing I’d know, we were training together.
Yes I miss the days when a bunch of us would go out to eat after the gym. At Gold’s Venice it was often the Swedish Inn Smorgusbord (gone now) near Loyola Marymount. Monday nights at Dinah’s in Westchester was like a Gold’s Gym convention – all you can eat fried chicken. At Ray Mentzer’s Muscle Mill it was the Great Earth Restaurant at Jim Rockell’s Powerhouse Gym in Rochester it was Country Buffet -- yes bad food but we’d load up on baked chicken and rice.
