- Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, also known as WWE Superstar Charlotte Flair, is a 14-time Champion and one of the most decorated female athletes in the history of sports entertainment.
Fliehr's initial foray into sports came from her love and passion for volleyball and gymnastics. She won two state championships in high school and was recruited as a Division 1 volleyball player for Appalachian State. Wrestling was never in her plan until a dinner with a WWE executive to discuss her late brother's future path, while her father, Ric Flair, was being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for the second time, changed her career path permanently.
Fliehr signed with WWE in 2012 and her innate athleticism came to life at her main roster ring debut on Monday Night Raw in 2015 shortly after winning the NXT Women's Championship in 2014.
She established herself as a dominant force in WWE's women's division, winning her first Divas Championship in 2015 and later retiring the Divas Championship to become the inaugural WWE Women's Champion in 2016, which she has held a record-tying seven times.
The face of WWE's women's evolution, Flair continued to make history and break barriers with her WrestleMania 35 triple-threat match against Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey, the first-ever WrestleMania main event featuring females. She also headlined seven WrestleManias in a row, became the first female Superstar in WWE history to main event a singles match on Raw, SmackDown and a Premium Live Event, and has won more Women's Titles than any other Superstar in WWE history.
Fliehr is also a force to be reckoned with outside the ring. She has been featured in ABC's Good Morning America, Apple TV's Carpool Karaoke, ESPN The Magazine "Body Issue," NBC's Today Show, and Peacock's Punky Brewster, among many others. Fliehr has showcased her acting abilities in the comedic-drama, Psych: The Movie, through Universal Content Productions. She is also among the top 15 most-followed female athletes in the world on social media.
This multi-faceted athlete, author, actor, and host is unstoppable and now she can add jewelry designer to her title when she launched her "Eminence" collaboration with prestige jeweler The Rockford Collection in 2022.
Fliehr's philanthropic contributions include supporting WWE's Community partners such as Make-A-Wish, participating in Girl Up's Sports for a Purpose program designed to help youth achieve gender equality in sports, and being the face of many Special Olympics Unified Sports Competitions around the world.
Fliehr was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and now resides in Florida with her sports entertainment professional husband, Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza, also known as "Manny". - A.

During the 1990's Tims father took him to be an extra in Whoopi Goldberg's basketball flop titled Eddie and Michael Douglas's Black Rain, this formed a passion with him for the film industry. After deciding to stay in Charlotte because he feared moving to Los Angeles or New York and becoming a broke failed actor he gave up on his dreams of being an actor and bought a local tanning salon to run with his brother. A few years later Tim was driving by a gas station and saw Gwyneth Paltrow filming Shallow Hall. This helped Tim realize that North Carolina was becoming a hot spot for film work because of its close proximity to beaches and mountains. This was all the motivation that he needed to try and get into the film industry.
Tim now is best known as himself from the many reality TV genre television shows that he has appeared on including many of TLC's number one ranked shows in the 90 Day Fiance universe. Tim first appeared as himself traveling to Colombia South America to chase love with a Latina woman he had met online on 90 Day Fiance : Before The 90 Days season 3.

Lauren Holt was born on 12 March 1991 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. She is an actress, known for Barbie (2023), Saturday Night Live (1975) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000).- Pat Barrington was an extremely buxom, curvy and drop-dead gorgeous brunette topless dancer who popped up in a handful of enjoyably trashy softcore sexploitation features throughout the 1960s, often for producer Harry H. Novak's Boxoffice International Pictures and directed by William Rotsler.
She was born Patricia Annette Bray on 10/16/39 in Charlotte, NC. Her mother Willie Jo Bray had a fling with a local man named Claude Weidenhause and became pregnant at age 16. Weidenhause had already left by the time Barrington was born. Pat moved with her mother Willie Jo to Richmond, VA, when she was only two years old. Willie Jo married another man, Eugene Lee Barringer, but the marriage was short-lived and Pat found herself moving once again with her mother, this time to Hyattsville, MD. Willie Jo subsequently married a former Marine suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Upset with the unstable situation at home, Pat left her mother and went out to fend for herself after her sophomore year in high school.
Pat relocated to Baltimore, MD, where she hooked up with an Italian-American mobster named Bob. She got married for the first time in the late 1950s but soon left him after the relationship became abusive. Bob helped Barrington get back on her feet by securing her a job as an exotic dancer. She then made a name for herself in Washington, DC, dancing under the name of "Vivian Storm". She caught the eye of local jazz musician Melvin Rees and moved into his abode back in Hyattsville in 1959. She moved down south with him in 1960. Alas, Rees was found guilty of murdering a Virginia family and was sentenced to life in prison.
Barrington moved to Los Angeles, CA, in 1962 and promptly got a job dancing at the prestigious nightclub The Classic Cat. She then decided to pursue a modeling career and subsequently started posing in spreads for various men's magazines as well as numerous commercial layouts. After an ill-advised foray into dancing in Las Vegas, she returned to Los Angeles and resumed her career as a model while still dancing on the side. She began auditioning for film work in the mid-'60s, achieving her greatest cult cinema fame as the female lead in Stephen C. Apostolof's unintentionally hilarious horror camp hoot Orgy of the Dead (1965), in which she also performs one of her patented steamy nude dances as the painted Gold Girl. Barrington had another rare substantial starring part as a bored housewife who works as a high-priced call girl in the seamy Agony of Love (1966). More often, though, the stunning and spectacularly alluring Pat was relegated to secondary roles as a go-go dancer in such delightfully down'-'n'-dirty low-grade fare as Lila (1968), The Girl with the Hungry Eyes (1966) and Sisters in Leather (1969). She appeared as herself in both the lurid mondo item Hedonistic Pleasures (1969) and Russ Meyer's blithely silly documentary Mondo Topless (1966). During this time she was briefly married to cinematographer Robert Caramico.
After calling it quits as an actress, Pat left Los Angeles and moved to New Jersey with a singer named Romeo. She soon found gainful employment dancing in clubs up and down the East Coast under the pseudonym Princess Jajah". In the mid-'70s she branched out into topless dancing and settled down in Cliffside Park, NJ, in 1980. She eventually dumped Romeo and became involved with a much younger man named Robert. Pat moved with Robert to Fort Lauderdale, FL, in 1984. She worked as a stripper using the name "Yvette" at assorted seedy clubs throughout Florida. After retiring from dancing in the early '90s, Barrington went on to work as a telemarketer. In her later years, she also helped local animal rescue groups (she was a lifelong lover of animals).
Pat Barrington died from lung cancer at age 74 on 9/1/2014. - Actress

Billy Graham was arguably the most successful Christian evangelist in the world. He was born William Franklin Graham, Jr., on Thursday, November 7th, 1918 on a dairy farm near Charlotte, North Carolina, to Morrow (Coffey) and William Franklin Graham, who were dairy farmers. Billy was an unofficial pontifex maximus to the American Republic, from the Truman Administration to the Obama years. Graham served as a spiritual adviser to several American presidents, though he is most widely associated with Richard Nixon. He gave a prayer at every Presidential inauguration from 1948 to 1996, and was presented with a Congressional Gold Medal by his fellow Southern Baptist, Bill Clinton, in 1996.
As a radio and TV evangelist, Graham touched the lives of an estimated two billion people. He personally oversaw the spiritual rebirth of over 2.5 million people, who accepted Jesus as their personal savior at his revival meetings. The Gallup Poll listed him as number seven on its list of the most admired people of the 20th century.
Graham was a moderate and temperate preacher with a high level of tolerance. His split with Bob Jones, Sr. circa 1950 was the watershed moment of the divergence of evangelicals, like Graham, from fundamentalists, like Jones.
Billy Graham died at the age of 99 on February 21, 2018, in Montreat, North Carolina.- Lauren Nicole Smith was born on 3 April 1993 in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

He is a two-time Olympic Bronze Medal Decathlete for the 1948 London Games and the 1952 Helsinki Games. The Gold Medalist both years was fellow American, Bob Mathias.
Handsome, dark-haired, athletic Floyd became a contract player at Universal-International where he appeared in a number of small roles in mid-1950's films, becoming friends with fellow contractee, Clint Eastwood. But his best-known role was as Commander William "Bill" Harbison in the 1958 20th-Century Fox musical, "South Pacific," in which he was tenth-billed. He so impressed producers that he was set to play opposite Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof," but when the picture changed hands, the new director wanted Paul Newman. His final film appearance on the big screen was in United Artist's 1963 Nathaniel Hawthorne compilation, "Twice-Told Tales," as the ghost of Matthew Maulle.
He then switched careers and became an accomplished artist and commercial photographer, settling in his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. In February 2004, he was selected along with three other Charlotte natives (including the late Dale Earnhardt) as one of the first inductees in the Greater Charlotte Sports Hall of Fame. - Actress
