She then retired from wrestling, pursuing a career in journalism, as well as working for the National Institute of Aging and the National Human Genome Research Institute.

Professional wrestling career
World Wrestling Federation (1985) Mjoseth was first introduced to professional wrestling after meeting a friend's boyfriend who worked as a wrestler. The look, which also included leather lace-up wrestling gear that she sewed herself, was modeled on characters in the "Mad Max" films and the X-Men comic book character Storm. She was accompanied again by Moolah for her second WWF match, which was against Desiree Petersen on April 16, 1985. Although she was initially brought into the WWF to feud with Wendi Richter for the WWF Women's Championship, the two women never wrestled against each other. Mjoseth claims that Moolah never told her about the WWF's intention for her to be in the cartoon. Championship Wrestling From Florida (1985-1986) Mjoseth relocated to Florida with Luna Vachon and Peggy Lee Pringle to work with booker Wahoo McDaniel as "Lady Maxine". She also had matches with Luna Vachon in February 1986. Universal Wrestling Federation (1986) In April 1986 in the Universal Wrestling Federation, Lady Maxine became the manager of Jack Victory. She accompanied him in singles matches, as well as 6-man tag team matches where he was paired with The Sheepherders. While managing Victory, she became involved in a feud with Dark Journey. The two women engaged in numerous cat fights from April through June 1986. They also competed in a mixed tag team match which pitted Maxine and Victory against Dark Journey and Koko Ware. The feud between Maxine and Dark Journey ended with Maxine being run out of UWF. In actuality, she chose to retire from professional wrestling (since she had grown tired of the business) and focus on her journalism career. == Professional wrestling style and personal ==
