OLD
SCHOOL
FREAKY FREDDY’S
Cory Everson was born
January 4, 1959, Racine,
Wisconsin, USA. An
outstanding track and field
athlete while attending the
University of Wisconsin, Cory
entered her first bodybuilding
contest in 1980. Her stunning
breakthrough year was 1984, when she won
the National Physique Committee Nationals
heavyweight and overall titles; weeks later, she won
the IFBB Ms. Olympia crown, toppling reigning
champion Carla Dunlap and two-time champ
Rachel McLish in the process. From then on, and
until she closed out her competitive career in
1989, Cory Everson won six consecutive IFBB Ms.
Olympia titles (she is unique among Ms. Olympia’s
in that she never lost an Olympia contest). Cory
was the sport’s most popular female during her
reign, and she attracted tremendous media interest
internationally as well as in the United States.
After retiring from competition, Everson began
acting. Her first major movie appearance was in
Double Impact (1991) alongside Jean-Claude Van
Damme. In it she plays Kara, a bone-crushing
assassin to the main bad guy. This involves a
number of impressive fight scenes.
She took a minor role in Natural Born Killers
(1994). Then in Ballistic (1995), (known in some
countries as Fist of Justice) she reprised the evil
muscle woman role with bravado. However she
loses the final epic fight to Marjean Holden playing
an undercover cop.
In January 1999, Everson was inducted into the
IFBB Hall of Fame, as part of the inaugural group.
She was inducted into the Muscle Beach Venice
Body Building Hall of Fame on September 5, 2005.
At the 2007 Arnold Classic she became the
first woman to be presented with the Lifetime
Achievement Award. In 2008, Everson was
inducted into the National Fitness Hall of Fame.
