- Pro wrestling's Miss Elizabeth was born in Frankfort, KY in 1960, and grew up in Kentucky. According to the WWF's Spotlight magazine, Elizabeth enjoyed walks through the meadows and horses during her childhood. She earned a degree in communications from the University of Kentucky. She rose to national prominence in the fall of 1985 when she was introduced as the manager of WWF wrestler Randy "Macho Man" Savage (Randy Savage, whom she had married a year earlier). The two quickly became successful: Elizabeth guided Savage to the WWF's Intercontinental title in Boston on Feb. 8, 1986, and later the WWF World Title on March 27, 1988, in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Merchandise and magazines bearing her picture were big sellers. She also figured as a key part of several angles, or story lines, in Savage's feuds with WWF foes George 'The Animal' Steele, Wayne Farris (aka "The Honky Tonk Man"), Jake Roberts, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan. Elizabeth later served as Hogan's manager, which touched off one of the WWF's fiercest feuds of 1989. Miss Elizabeth was never a "Diva" like the other women in WWE today. She was and will always remain the First Lady of Wrestling.
Elizabeth and Randy Savage were part of the "Match Made in Heaven" portion of the WWF's Summerslam '91 on August 26, 1991. Alas, the marriage was a work (i.e., fake), as the two were already married; the "wedding" was used to help set up Savage's feud with Roberts. In reality, the marriage (both the real and storyline marriage) wouldn't last; Elizabeth left the WWF in 1992, shortly before she and Savage divorced.
She returned to wrestling in 1996 in the rival World Championship Wrestling (WCW), where she served as manager for Hogan and Lex Luger (Larry Pfohl, who soon became her real-life boyfriend) while also working with ex-husband Savage on occasion. She left the WCW in early 1999. She later owned a clothing store in the Miami, Florida, area. She died on May 1, 2003, leaving behind many fond memories with her fans.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Brian Rathjen <briguy_52732@yahoo.com> (qv's & corrections by A. Nonymous)
