Wasn't it "Fabulous Moola"?

Mary Lillian Ellison (July 22, 1923 – November 2, 2007) went by both names depending on the year. The last interview I saw of her she was called by the interviewer "The Marvelous Moola". I never really saw much of her when I watched wrestling.

Her listed names were:
Fabulous Moolah
The Fabulous Moolah
Slave Girl Moolah
The Spider Lady
