For some reason, this one kind of hits harder.

It just makes me sad.

I watched that interview Dave did with her. She seems really nice and “real”.

Hearing she has a teenage son made it that much worse

I genuinely feel so badly for him.

It’s devastating.... he’s all alone. My heart jumped out of my chest when I found out Laura had passed.

I wish for your daughter internal peace, on some level.

When the blackness consumes ...

Just love her all you can, friend.

I remember her. After she won the Heavyweight class at the '92 Nationals, people were hailing her as the new standard for women's bodybuilding. She was to bring a softer, more feminine, package to the competitions.

This was also the year where Anja Schreiner was the featured girl on the 1992 Ms. Olympia poster, with small insets of the other women who were "also competing".......INCLUDING TWO-TIME and DEFENDING MS. OLYMPIA, LENDA MURRAY.

Bass was one of the few female bodybuilders that could still make a muscle magazine cover. Once she got her boob job, she got more fitness models shoots. Someone here posted her pics from Flex Magazine's "Power and Sizzle" spread from the early/mid 90s, where someone got the idea that making off-season female bodybuilders pose butt-@$$ naked would make them more appealing.

She was struggling with depression, how terrible. Condolences to her family and her friends.

Where you been hiding?

I've been here recently, even bumped up some threads about Tony Pearson and Lex Luger. I was discussing the Mr. Olympia last month, which I didn't know at the time was right here in Orlando, about 30 minutes from my house.

Plus, I've been on CLOUD NINE since Sunday night, because THE BUCS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL AGAIN.

Or, should I say.....STAYING IN THE SUPER BOWL!!!  FIRST TEAM EVER TO PLAY THE BIG ONE IN ITS HOME STADIUM!!! FIRE THE CANNONS!!!  ;D

The name doesn't ring a bell. But, I might recognize her picture. But, back then, they were looking for the next Cory Everson with a fierceness. That's why I brought up that Anja Schreiner thing, making her the feature on the 1992 Ms. Olympia poster, instead of defending champ, Lenda Murray.

I guess Murray got the message. She stopped tanning, got her nose done, freed herself of the braces once her teeth were straight, added some implants, and started competing just barely cut enough to win.

Bass and Murray were among a handful of female bodybuilders the editors would dare put on the covers in the 90s (outside a downsized and retired Everson).

I remember her from when i first got into weightlifting and was reading the mags. She was very pretty.

There are millions of people who struggle daily with depression and for some it can literally feel like the world is ending.

Yet, I don't think Chivesky EVER made the cover of Flex or Muscle & Fitness, not even when she shrunk and switched to fitness competitions.

Unless I'm mistaken, no reigning Ms. Olympia since Murray has made a cover. And most of the time, Murray's covers weren't solo. She was with a fitness girl, a regular model or with fellow Ms. O, Cory Everson.

Sad, depression all consuming and is so much more prevalent in these times. Saw what Dave posted on RX when it happened. She was a beautiful girl and seemed to be a sweet good human being.
