Jeanie Wolf, the stepdaughter of Mildred Burke, traveled the country as part of a carnival like all girl promotion, but while she was seen in many parts of the USA, she did not live long enough to be famous.
When she is remembered at all, she is remembered for her death in a tag team match in East Liverpool, Ohio, where she slumped into unconsciousness, much like Perro Aguayo Jr years later and never woke up, passing away from brian trauma of some form or another.
Though young in age and heart, she had already been well-versed and seen in many different parts of the USA, from coast to coast. How far she might have gone had her luck changed is anyone's guess. Eternal greatness was not to be her destiny.
Reportedly. on the night of her death, she had not wanted to go into the ring and had been feeling badly, but feared the reaction of Billy Wolf and Mildred Burke if she opted out of the match. She might have been wiser to have taken that chance.

Alfonso Dantes
Dantes started wrestling at 17-years-old in 1960 in Morelia
using the name of Edmundo Dantes after going through rigorous training from his
maestro Diablo Velasco. Alfonso came from great stock as his father Al Amezcua
(Golden Terror) was a great wrestler and his brother Vick Amezcua would go on
to fame as Septiembre Negro. Alfonso took the hair of many wrestlers with the
best known being El Faraon & El Halcon who was his main rival throughout
their careers. Alfonso also held many titles as he was an Occidental
Middleweight champion, which started his legendary run in his home of
Guadalajara, 3-time Mexican National Lt. Heavyweight champion, 5-time NWA World
Lt. Heavyweight champion (which was considered “his title”), and a 2-time
Mexican National Heavyweight champion.
Dantes was seen occasionally in Arizona on live shows via visiting lucha promoters. He was also known as a regular on Arizona tv thanks to the Galavison lucha show.
He died some time back. His reputation lives on.
