Brown was linked to (brother-sister/best pals relationship) Queen frontman Freddie Mercury from her mid-teens in 1980 until his death over a decade later in 1991, as well as partnered with Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler from 1993-1997 and performed in multiple music videos beginning in her mid-teens starting out with Queen when he personally chose her from her modeling photos at age 16, and multiple other top bands including Aerosmith and Guns ‘n Roses spanning almost four decades.

Professional wrestling career

In 1984, Brown began her training to become a professional wrestler at The Fabulous Moolah's Girl Pro Wrestling School in Columbia, South Carolina under the direct training of The Fabulous Moolah and Donna Christanello. She then trained under Killer Kowalski and was the Ladies Champion of Kowalski's International Wrestling Federation for well over a decade. Brown eventually became one of Kowalski's trainers to both male and female students at his school outside of Boston, Massachusetts. During the same time she was the IWF Ladies Champion, she was also the Ladies Champion of the National Wrestling Alliance and a number of independent promotions including Empire Pro Wrestling, National Wrestling Federation, World Wrestling Alliance and the New England Wrestling Federation. She was known as The Boston Bad Girl due to her 'in ring' villainous tactics.

Brown worked for multiple Federations including WCW, ICW, NWA, LPWA, IWF, WWWA, NEWF, NAWA, USWF, WWA, EWF and many, many more.

In 1994, Brown was honored by the Cauliflower Alley Club along with other female inductees Candi Devine, Sherri Martel, Kitty Adams, and Susan Green as well as male inductees Gorilla Monsoon And Pedro Morales. She was also the first female to ever be elected as an officer of the once very prestigious Cauliflower Alley Club under then President Lou Thesz. Brown was also not only on the Board of The LIWA run by The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young, but was honored by the organization before becoming an Officer. In 2013 Ms. Brown was inducted into the New England Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.

On February 27, 1998, Brown beat number-one contender Brandi Alexander and retained her NWA New Jersey Championship title at the Third Annual Eddie Gilbert Memorial Brawl at the Airport Radisson Hotel in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1][2] The Fabulous Moolah was in Brown's corner while Fred The Elephant Boy from The Howard Stern Show was at ringside with Ms. Alexander.

She and a former partner began a New England-based independent wrestling promotion called the World Wrestling Alliance in 1999 which was around for many years and featured many wrestlers from the WWF Dojo and several Tough Enough stars.

At a Killer Kowalski Birthday Wrestling show, lady wrestler Violet Flame and her husband Steve King, along with an unknown Referee changed the finish so that Flame could win a match. Former ICW wrestler ‘The Boston Bad Boy’ Rocky Raymond was in attendance and along with Wrestler Chris Duffy were ready to pummel King (who is quite small for a wrestler)but Brown got in between them knowing he had no chance against either one but especially not both, so that they could get to their vehicle and get out of there alive. Brown was laughing the entire time, but sad that someone would do something so devious and low especially at a Kowalski show.

Brown is one of three female professional Wrestlers that broke her neck and resumed her career for many, many years after healing.
