Torrie Wilson (born July 24, 1975 in Boise, Idaho)
is a fitness model and performer for World Wrestling Entertainment on the
Smackdown! brand.
Born in Boise, Idaho, her parents divorced and, at
10, she moved to the small town of McCall, Idaho. She was painfully shy but she
quickly found friends in her school. She quickly found her niche in many school
activities including cheerleading, dance and was very competitive in track and
field.
During high school, after her interest in modeling
grow more serious, her mother urged Torrie to pursue it. They visited an agency
and were informed that Torrie would have to lose weight to actually be
considered for jobs. She lost eight pounds, but, in the process, began a four
year long bout with bulimia. She finally recovered, and decided to abandon
modeling.
A few years after her battle with bulimia, Wilson
developed an interest in fitness modeling. Torrie thought that this was a more
appropriate path for her, and she began working out and building muscles. She
decided to enter herself in the 1997 Ms. Galaxy fitness competition and, within
nine months, after no experience in the field, she placed 13th.
A year later at the same competition she placed
1st. Encouraged with her accomplishments, Wilson moved to Los Angeles,
California to pursue acting. She began acting classes and was introduced to an
agent, who helped her gain a few jobs. But it was a meeting with Kevin Nash
backstage at her first WCW event that landed her a full time job. She worked
with WCW as a valet for Billy Kidman, Shane Douglas and Kevin Nash until the
company was purchased by its rival, WWE, where she continues to work for.
She later married Kidman, and the couple reside in
Tampa, Florida.
