Yulie became famous after she shaved her head and adopted the label of "the ugliest woman in the world". Brynner's character got huge heat immediately, she was also very impressive inside the squared circle with great psychology that inspire women on the ring even today (as you can see in the GIF below).
Brynner's usually confused with "The Lady Angel", another bald lady wrestler of that time. As this 1950s clipping shows, there were at least two bald women working in the business at that point.
With the controversy of identity settled, here we have one match of Brynner's career. She wrestled Rose Roman in a 20 minutes time limit/one fall match in 1958.
It's interesting to hear the commentator (Russ Davis) talk about Brynner's character:
"I don't know, fellas... ...this doesn't even look like a woman to me... ...a lady, whatever you wanna call it."
And you could see the reaction on the face of the fans when "the ugliest woman in the world" revealed her bald head. The effectiveness of her character exploring the aesthetic pattern of the time to get heat should be remembered among the greats that this industry has ever seen and could teach a lotta things to professional wrestlers nowadays. She's definitely a hidden gem of professional wrestling.
