Biography
Tammé's eldest son has just started at Stanford Medical School. In the ring, Tammé adopts the persona of The Welfare Queen, an angry black woman stereotype who wields food stamps.

Prior to auditioning for the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, she had only had minor background roles on programs such as Gimme a Break!. She worries about what her son might think about her portraying a stereotypical character like the Welfare Queen, but Sam Sylvia convinces her that true art requires risk. ("The Dusty Spur")
