Erika Ervin, also known as Amazon Eve, is a American transgender supermodel, fitness trainer[2] and actress.

She has appeared on the cover of Australian magazine Zoo Weekly[3][4][5] and played a recurring character on American Horror Story: Freak Show and in American Horror Story: Apocalypse. At 6 feet 8 inches tall[6][7][3][4][5][8], news stories have called her "the world's tallest model".[6][7][8] She was later crowned the World's Tallest Professional Model by Guinness World Records in 2011.

Early Life

Ervin grew up in a small town in Central California. She has a bizarre medical condition that increased her height to 6'9" when she was 18. She also studied theater arts and business management in college in the Bay Area of California.

Career

Ervin ventured to obtain roles as an actress but gave up on the idea when she was constantly offered roles as an alien or monster. Later she studied law and exercise physiology. Tired of the office life that she had pursued and unhappy with her weight, she joined a gym but strove for an unrealistic size 0 physique that almost resulted in ending her life. Eventually she developed a healthier body image and began to view herself as a super-sized version of Super Woman and became a personal trainer devoted to instilling realistic expectations for herself and her clients. She tours the world participating in height comparison photo shoots and regular modeling jobs and posts her tour on her website.[9] Eve lives in Redondo Beach, California.[4][5]

Ervin later dubbed the world's tallest model according to Guinness World Records in 2011[10]

Personal Life

Ervin underwent gender confirmation surgery in 2004.[11] In interviews Ervin has talked about the problems of being a tall woman. Other topics she has addressed include her troubles growing up dealing with teasing in high school, family problems and her modeling experience.
