Stacy, her parents’ only child, was born long and skinny. She showed an inclination for dancing and modeling very early in her life. She enrolled at Jean Kettell Studio of Dance in Dundalk, Maryland at the age of three and took lessons in ballet, jazz, and tap dancing.

At the age of six, she started modeling, eventually appearing in several national commercials. They enabled her to enter the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) by the age of 10.

For her formal education, Stacy went to St. Clement Mary Hofbauer School in Rosedale. In 1990, while she was studying there, she won the title of Miss Maryland Pre-Teen. Later she moved to Catholic High School of Baltimore, a private all girls’ school, from where she graduated in 1997.

In 1997, on graduating from school, Stacy entered Towson University, a public university located in the Baltimore County of Maryland, with partial scholarship. There she took up mass communication as her major, earning a 3.7 grade point average in it. Concurrently, she started taking a keen interest in extracurricular activities.

In 1998, when Stacy Keibler was 18 years old, Baltimore Raven football team held an audition for selecting a team of twenty cheerleaders. She was not much interested in the event because she did not want to spend her weekends practicing; but went ahead just to please her father.

Once she was at the audition venue, she saw hundred of girls appearing for the try-out and she began to think it would be cool if she was one of the twenty. But as she knew nothing about football, she was sure she would be rejected. However, she was wrong.

In 1998 football season, Stacy began her career as a cheerleader for the Baltimore Ravens. Since she had no idea about football, she initially followed the other cheerleaders. Also in 1998, she had her film debut, appearing in the un-credited role in John Water’s film, ‘Pecker’.

In 1999, she appeared in another un-credited role in ‘Liberty Heights’. In the same year, she appeared for the audition of the Nitro Girls, the dance team for the World Champion Wresting (WCW). It was a tough audition, but she won competitions after competitions, beating 300 girls in the process.

The final competition for the Nitro Girls, held in November 1999, was watched by 4.4 million viewers. Keibler was declared the winner, which earned her not only a spot on the Nitro Girls, but also prize money of $10,000. She used the money to buy a Raven season ticket.

Stacy Keibler first became known for her role in WWE. Launching her wrestling career as a Nitro Girl in 1999, she went on to build an ‘in-ring’ career, taking part in different story lines and also managing various well-known wrestlers such as the Dudley Boyz, Test and Scott Steiner.

Keibler is also well-known for her performances in ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Partnering with Tony Dovolani, she earned perfect scores from three separate judges for her samba dance routine in the fifth week. Although the pair ended up third in the final episode they dazzled everyone with their dance moves.
