Aileen Eaton

Aileen LeBell Eaton (February 5, 1909 – November 7, 1987) was an American boxing and professional wrestling promoter who was influential in the United States' west coast's boxing and wrestling scene for five decades.

A panel of Arlene Francis, Barry Nelson, Dorothy Kilgallen and Bennett Cerf was unable to guess Eaton's occupation as a boxing promoter.

Nicknamed The Redhead, Eaton took over presidency of her husband's company and went on to stage more than 10,000 boxing bouts and as many wrestling matches at the L.A. Olympic Auditorium, promoting such fighters as Floyd Patterson, Danny Lopez, Carlos Palomino, Joe Frazier and George Foreman before she retired in 1980.

When alongside her husband, she had also helped promote fights of Sugar Ray Robinson and Carmen Basilio, among others.

[citation needed] In 2011, Eaton, along with her sons Gene and Mike LeBell, was inducted into National Wrestling Alliance's Hall of Fame.
