February 26, 1983 Arnold reportedly voiced salacious profanities to an unnerved Rachel McLishwhile at the Men's IFBB Pro World Championship was in Atlantic City, New Yersey. He added to the two-time Ms. Olympia Rachel McLish, "You must have a lot of practise holding things like that (a microphone)." McLish reportedly didn't get his meaning. And when winner Mohamed Makkawy was photographed being congratulated by Playboy bunnies, someone commented: "They're animals, I tell you, animals! This really isn't going to help our (bodybuilding) image."

	Hollywood is flexing its muscle to defend Arnold Schwarzenegger. As you know already, our hero is the subject of a scathing profile in the March issue of Premiere magazine titled “Arnold the Barbarian,” which tells startling stories of alleged boorish behavior of our star. Instead of forcing a lawsuit against the mag, Arnold is getting his high-powered friends and co-stars to write to Premiere in his defense, sources say. Among those who’ve penned letters to the mag defending Schwarzenegger and attacking the article are not only his “True Lies” co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, but also “Terminator” co-star Linda Hamilton, “Jingle All the Way” co-star Rita Wilson (a.k.a. Mrs. Tom Hanks), “Terminator” director James Cameron and “Eraser” producer Arnold Kopelson.

Sunday, February 22, 1998 Arnold's interview with Barbara Walters aired. Also mentioned was how Arnold met his future bride, Maria Shriver in 1977. He recalled "It was love. I remember very clearly when we met the first night. I saw her dancing out on the dance floor at the Robert F Kennedy Tennis Tournament. The night before they always have a dance. I said that this girl is so much fun and she's funny and she's witty and she's smart and all this stuff. And she had this energy in her eyes, she really wants to live life. That came out of her face that I just enjoyed it so much!"
