The Fabulous Moolah, or Lillian Ellison (1923-), is a former female professional wrestler who is marketed by World Wrestling Entertainment for holding the record for the longest title reign of any athlete in any professional sport.
Because wrestling is entirely scripted, and the title reign presumably was not continuous, this claim is highly dubious.

 Lipstick and Dynamite : filmcritic.com Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Yet though the director would apparently have us gaze upon these former brawny beauties as early feminists, there’s scant evidence supplied by this paper-thin portrait of pro wrestling’s inception to make such a case conceivable, much less compelling.
Gladys “Killem” Gillem, Ella Waldek, Ida May Martinez, Penny Banner, Lillian Ellison, Judy Grable, and The Great Mae Young all reached the squared circle during the ‘40s and ‘50s via divergent paths, yet Lipstick and Dynamite’s subjects share common experiences with parental and spousal abuse, cheating husbands and exploitive managers.
Unfortunately, Leitman’s objectives don’t include examining the motivating forces behind these women’s unusual careers; she’s so taken with humorous anecdotes about their experiences on the road and in the ring that the film quickly reveals itself as simply a collection of similar war stories.

 Lipstick & Dynamite: The First Ladies of Wrestling (2005)
This extremely entertaining documentary portrays quite literally the "first ladies of wrestling." Spanning the 1940s to the present, Lipstick & Dynamite is a dynamite time capsule of a sport that I had no idea included women as early as World War II.
Through modern-day interviews of what seems on the surface to be little old ladies, it is clearly revealed that even now these women (aged 60 to mid-80s) have retained the brass and sass that made them warriors in the ring.
Though many women are interviewed, the film highlights wrestler The Fabulous Moolah (Lillian Ellison), a lipsticked, bleach-blonde, salty-tongued woman who fought and won a bout on her 80th birthday.
