One might be forgiven for believing that Ann Woodruff picked up her talent, poise, and presence in the show pen by osmosis. After all, for many years she was ringside, supporting and encouraging her daughter, Lillian, to numerous championship titles. Now, the roles have reversed. Ann is scooping up the wins in the arena while Lilli cheers her on from the rail. With enormous drive and passion, Ann has enjoyed remarkable success in her inaugural few months of showing after a hiatus that spanned decades. Yet, like most overnight successes, the reality is that success has been years in the making.
