Ursula Hayden cause of death

As per the above official statement, it was confirmed that Ursula Hayden passed away after a long battle with cancer. Wrestling cast member Angelina Altishin posted an official note on her friend Hayden’s death, the statement reads,

We lost Ursula Bamby Hayden aka” Babe the Farmers Daughter” tonight after losing her battle with cancer. She never talked about it, and that’s not my story to tell.

My heart is so heavy right now. Johnny Cafarella was the first to break the news to me. There was so much that people didn’t know or even understand when it came to Babe, GLOW, and our legacy, but one thing for certain was Babe knew she could always count on me to work with her in the best interest of our brand.

Even though Babe and I first met in 1987, on the POWW tour (before she was cast in GLOW), our paths didn’t cross again until around 2008, …..I was looking to get my hands on some old tapes and I sent a message to the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling Website. She replied right away, we talked and caught up on life, then she sent me all my footage and never ask me for a dime.

She told me about the documentary being filmed and invited me to take part in the interviews. It was then, over 20 years later, that we would meet again in person at her house.

I worked with her and the doc guys for over 2 years to help put together the girls for interviews and whatever any of them needed.

I think over those 2 years she grew to trust me and confide in me about her struggles and concerns regarding the legacy, our tapes, and trying to spin something BIG from it.

Well, something BIG sure did happen for our brand with the launch of GLOW Netflix, she put me in contact with the press for interviews, and when ABC the Bachelor came knocking she was instrumental in putting my name up for consideration.

We had so much fun training for that with her long-time friend and mine, Ric Drasin, may he rest in peace also.

I loved having her on my GLOW Netflix Podcast, we had so much fun behind the scenes. She always brought her daughter Alaska along for everything and I’m so glad they will always have those memories together.

Over the years we would drift in and out of contact and she would retreat more and more away from the LA life and just seek peace and quiet… Which she found. My last text with her was on Sept 14th. I wish I would have known she was slipping away from us.

I’m not done sharing who she was as a person,.. to me anyway. You’ll hear all kinds of stories because she didn’t get along with many of us, but I don’t think any of that even matters anymore. Do you?
