Americana
**************


Real Name: Cindy Maranne

GLOW highlights: An original GLOW girl and also the GLOW singles champion for a period of time in the first season.

Gossip Mill: The rumor is that the creator of GLOW, Matt Cimber, had "the hots" for her and made her life miserable by sexually harrassing her after she rebuffed his advances.

Life after GLOW: She retired from GLOW about three quarters of the way through the first season as a result of the harrassment and eventually married one of the original GLOW writers named Rick. She had at least one child and made an attempt at acting, starring in a movie titled "Provoked" and appearing in another movie titled "Slashdance" (with Queen Kong) in the late 1980's. She also appeared in the HBO series "From the Earth to the Moon" as a secretary. It is also rumored that she particpated in a "mutliple woman" tag match for the video company Diamond, sometime in the 90's, though that is probably a bit far fetched.

Biggest GLOW Rivals:Colonel Ninotchka to whom she eventually lost the title and suffered some terrific beatings. Royal Hawaiian from whom she regained the title, but also suffered terrific beatings.

Memorable matches: Match against Mana the Headhunter where Mana injures the American; a draw with Colonel Ninotchka in which she was tossed from the ring, had her head slammed into the ring post and then was Pile Driven onto the concrete floor; Tag Match with California Doll in which the Royal Hawaiian and Spanish Red dragged her to the corner, spread her legs and rammed her crotch into the ring post (a memorable GLOW moment). Draw against Colonel Ninotchka in which she was attacked before she could enter the ring. Pulled over the top rope, her head rammed into the turnbuckle repeatedly before Ninotchka worked over her belly and knee resulting in a knee injury, which was the excuse for her departure from GLOW.

WrestlingLady Analysis:By far, my favorite GLOW Gal!!! Not a very talented wrestler, but very attractive and athletic. She had a reasonable amount of skill at making her matches look believable, and with more training I beleive that she could have been a good wrestler. Excellent body for wrestling, excellent facial expressions and acting skills. Though she only wrestled for less than one season, she is still one of the most remebmered GLOW Gals based upon conversations I have had with many fans. And we all LOVED that costume! She gets my vote as the GLOW gal I would most like to have a cup of coffee with!
