by Linnea Crowther

Ursula Hayden was a professional wrestler who starred on “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling,” also known as “GLOW,” as Babe the Farmer’s Daughter.

GLOW

Hayden was a model and pageant winner before joining GLOW in 1986. First wrestling under the ring name the Princess of Darkness, she became most famous in the show’s third season as Babe the Farmer’s Daughter. In a country-girl costume of super-short cutoff jeans and a crop top, she wrestled in a tag team with Beckie Mullen (1963–2020), who portrayed Sally the Farmer’s Daughter. Hayden also wrestled under the ring name Donna Matrix. She appeared on TV shows including “Family Feud” and “Married… With Children” as Babe the Farmer’s Daughter. In 2001, Hayden purchased the GLOW company, and she was its sole owner until her death. She worked to archive as many old episodes of “GLOW” as possible and made them available on DVD. She appeared in the award-winning documentary “GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling” and was a consultant on the Netflix series “GLOW.”
