In a heartfelt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/topic\/tribute\">tribute<\/a>, she wrote: &#8220;You always marched to your own drummer and inspired everyone around you to do the same. Follow that bliss, catch that fish and kiss those lips while you can because my father was the live life to the fullest kinda guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gaines collaborated with George Butler on <em>Pumping Iron: The Art and Sport of Bodybuilding<\/em>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/topic\/book\">book<\/a> that subsequently led to the creation of the influential 1977 documentary, for which both men penned the script. In the introduction to their 1974 book, Gaines described it as &#8220;a sort of respectful report from the interior of an interesting, colorful and heretofore ignored region of American life.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He later admitted in a 2022 edition that neither author anticipated widespread interest, noting that Schwarzenegger almost single-handedly &#8220;brought bodybuilding out of the shadows it had languished in since its earliest days in America and into the limelight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger, a seven-time Mr. Olympia and five-time Mr. Universe champion featured flexing on the cover of <em>Pumping Iron<\/em>, leveraged this newfound attention into a remarkable career. He transitioned from blockbuster films like <em>The Terminator<\/em>, <em>True Lies,<\/em> <em>Twins<\/em>, and <em>Predator<\/em> to politics, serving as California\u2019s governor from 2003 to 2011.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-awdjp1-2 cbpRGD sc-awdjp1-3 image align-center\">\n<figure class=\"sc-1cbdeug-0 cXcwgU\">\n<div data-gallery-length=\"2\" class=\"sc-awdjp1-0 BdZBN\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.the-independent.com\/2026\/07\/22\/18\/02\/GettyImages-51406178.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.the-independent.com\/2026\/07\/22\/18\/02\/GettyImages-51406178.jpg?quality=75&amp;width=320&amp;auto=webp 320w, https:\/\/static.the-independent.com\/2026\/07\/22\/18\/02\/GettyImages-51406178.jpg?quality=75&amp;width=640&amp;auto=webp 640w\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Arnold Schwarzenegger during the 38th Cannes film festival where he presented Pumping Iron , a documentary that spread his fame beyond bodybuilding circles\" class=\"sc-1mc30lb-0 ggpMaE inline-gallery-btn\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"sc-1cbdeug-1 sc-1cbdeug-3 YlsWU hgzWpY\">Arnold Schwarzenegger during the 38th Cannes film festival where he presented Pumping Iron , a documentary that spread his fame beyond bodybuilding circles<span class=\"sc-1cbdeug-7 gjqsiM\"> <!-- -->(<!-- -->AFP via Getty Images<!-- -->)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Gaines himself had a lifelong connection to bodybuilding, having started lifting weights at 16. <em>Pumping Iron<\/em> originated as a 1972 <em>Sports Illustrated<\/em> article covering a Mr. East Coast bodybuilding contest. <\/p>\n<p>He famously wrote, &#8220;If we felt at times a little like 19th century explorers, it was because we found bodybuilding to be as primeval and unmapped as parts of Labrador. Nobody, we discovered, had been back into it to send out a report on what it was like.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The documentary famously chronicled the rivalry between Schwarzenegger and fellow bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno, who later starred in <em>The Incredible Hulk,<\/em> during their quest for the Mr. Olympia title.<\/p>\n<p>A prolific writer, Gaines published numerous books, including <em>Waters Far and Near: Tales of Angling Adventure and Misadventure Around the World<\/em> and the novels <em>Stay Hungry,<\/em> <em>Dangler<\/em>, and <em>Survival Games<\/em>. <em>Stay Hungry<\/em> was adapted into a film starring Jeff Bridges, providing Schwarzenegger with his inaugural movie role.<\/p>\n<p>Schwarzenegger shared his condolences on Instagram, stating: &#8220;He climbed mountains, trekked across ice, fished, and hunted on almost every continent, writing about every adventure in a way that captured people\u2019s hearts and minds. He was interested in everything \u2014 and his interest was contagious. I\u2019m lucky that he was always looking for new frontiers, because that\u2019s how he found me and our niche sport of bodybuilding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gaines, who was raised in Alabama, earned a bachelor&#8217;s degree from Birmingham-Southern College and a Master of Fine Arts in writing from the University of Iowa.
