Stephanie Bellars, known by her ring name Gorgeous George (born January 25, 1976), is an American professional wrestling valet.[1] She began her career in wrestling in 1999 as manager to her then-boyfriend "Macho Man" Randy Savage. She has worked for World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) under the names Gorgeous George, George Frankenstein, and simply George.
Professional wrestling
Bellars debuted under the name Gorgeous George at WCW Spring Stampede 1999 alongside then-boyfriend Randy Savage as his manager. The following month, she competed in her first match at WCW Slamboree 1999, defeating referee Charles Robinson in a match with Savage's job on the line. She remained with Savage throughout the summer of 1999 until they eventually broke up and she left WCW.
In July 2000, Gorgeous George joined Extreme Championship Wrestling and remained there through October before ECW eventually shut down in early 2001. Gorgeous George made several appearances at independent wrestling events in 2003 and 2004 including Women's Extreme Wrestling, 3PW, and NCW. At a 3PW event in 2003, she wrestled Jasmin St. Claire in a match that ended up with the two women kissing in the ring.
After years away from the wrestling business, George began appearing with Women Superstars Uncensored in October 2008. While she mostly worked as a manager, she also competed in a tag team tournament and a battle royal. In 2011, she made a one time appearance for National Wrestling Superstars.

She was married to Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein (Paul Caiafa), the former guitarist of the American horror punk band, the Misfits.[1] They married on September 1, 2001 and have a daughter, Boriss, who was born on August 17, 2002. They also had a son, Isaac, born August 25, 1992. The couple's divorce was finalized in October 2013. [1] On October 26, 2015 Bellars announced that she was working on her autobiography with American Combat Association President & professional mixed martial arts fighter Matt Granahan.
