Signed autograph reads "To Clayton Train Hard"
Gladys Portugues is an American former professional bodybuilder, fitness model, and actress. She was born on September 30, 1957, in Manhattan, New York City. Gladys is well-known for her achievements in bodybuilding during the 1980s, a period when female bodybuilding was gaining popularity. She competed in several bodybuilding competitions, including the Ms. Olympia contest, where she was a top 10 finalist.
Apart from her bodybuilding career, Gladys is also known for her marriage to Belgian actor and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme. The couple has been married twice, initially from 1987 to 1992 and then remarried in 1999 after a brief separation. They have two children together, Kristopher and Bianca Van Damme, both of whom have pursued careers in the entertainment industry.
Gladys has also appeared in a few films, often in roles that highlight her athletic physique. Despite stepping away from the competitive bodybuilding scene, she remains an advocate for fitness and healthy living.
Shipping Policy
Due to ever increasing postage costs, shipping is charged separately rather than hidden in the item's price. This method is more equitable, allowing customers closer in proximity to benefit from reduced shipping costs. For orders with multiple items, I'm happy to offer combined shipping (which can further save on shipping expenses). Returns are accepted, provided the item is returned in the same condition it was received.
