A tragic day in May 2003 ended with the loss of a life that had been adored by millions for years. Elizabeth Hulette (better known as Miss Elizabeth) was dead at the young age of 42.

Her untimely death followed a historic career where she lived out the nickname she had been given: “The First Lady of Wrestling.”

First known to fans around the world as the valet of “Macho Man” Randy Savage (her real-life husband), Miss Elizabeth was the opposite of everything in the wrestling world she lived in.

Unlike the loud, chaotic and downright crazy world of pro wrestling, Elizabeth was gentle, kind and soft-spoken. The total opposite of Savage.

Fans grew to love her at a time when some pro wrestling shows garnered tens of millions of viewers, with Elizabeth at the center of the show.
