Professional Wrestler, Actress and Roller Derby Skater. She is known for her appearances with Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (GLOW) as Matilda the Hun, as well as her appearances in films such as "Brainsmasher... A Love Story" (1993) and "Spaceballs" (1987). She grew up in Lake Arrowhead, California. Prior to becoming involved in wrestling, she held jobs including as a masseuse and as a phone sex operator. She wrestled at El Camino Junior College in California, helping the team win a state championship. She made her first foray into professional wrestling by organizing amateur mud wrestling shows, performing as a masked character named "Queen Kong." After California's gaming commission barred her from wrestling men, her first professional match was against a 700 lb (320 kg) bear. She later teamed with GLOW creator David McLane and director Matt Cimber to cast, recruit and train performers for the first all-women's professional wrestling show. She also wrote the show's theme song. She portrayed Matilda the Hun in GLOW. Her villainous character ate raw meat in the ring and scared children in the crowd, which she said she enjoyed. After two years with GLOW, she and others left to form a competing show called Powerful Women of Wrestling, but it was unsuccessful. She said she learned her signature move, a big splash, from watching English professional wrestler Big Daddy. In 2012, she appeared in a documentary about GLOW, titled "GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling." After her professional wrestling career, she earned a living doing stunt work as well as by performing singing telegrams that incorporated aspects of wrestling. She had several film roles in her career, including in the Mel Brooks sci-fi comedy "Spaceballs." She was in the romantic comedy "Brainsmasher... A Love Story" alongside Andrew "Dice" Clay and Teri Hatcher. She also appeared in the music video for Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator," carrying a dwarf on her shoulders. She also had guest-starring roles in television, including "Married... with Children," "My Two Dads," "Mama's Family" and "Night Court." She often portrayed her Queen Kong character in these roles. By 2017, she used a motorized wheelchair because of wrestling-related spinal deterioration. In her later life, she suffered from lupus and peripheral neuropathy.
