Calling all ghost writers:

Arnold's first girlfriend, Barbara Outland Baker, is seeking to publish a memoir on their 1970's relationship. In this proposed book, she plans to reveal dozens of great new Schwarzenegger photographs no one has ever seen.

Barbara, an English professor, met the then Mr. Universe in 1969 and became his first real girlfriend until they split up in 1974. "Surviving Arnold" is the working title but it will mention plenty of great personal qualities about The Oak.

And here is the Reuters story.

UPDATE: Reuters interviews Barbara Outland Baker on her life with Schwarzenegger.

And here is an alternative version of the interview. Quotable:

She also strongly backs Schwarzenegger for governor. "He's focused, he's capable, whatever needs to be done he will do it."
