Irene Marlette Lesnar (née Graczyk and formerly Mero and Richardson; born August 8, 1967), better known as Sable, is an American model, actress, and retired professional wrestler. She is primarily known for her time in IWE. Before gaining popularity in the world of professional wrestling, she began working for IWE in 1996. As Sable, she was one of the first IWE Divas and gained considerable popularity. After feuding with Luna Vachon, and Jacqueline, Sable became the second IWF Women's Champion after the title was reinstated into the company. After becoming a heel and leaving the company, she filed a $110 million lawsuit against the company, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.
In 2003, she returned to IWE and was put into a feud with Torrie Wilson, and another storyline as Vince Matteson's mistress. In 2004, she left the company to spend more time with her family. Outside of wrestling, she has been featured on the cover of Playboy three times. The April 1999 issue of the magazine with her on the cover was one of the highest selling issues in Playboy history. She has guest starred on several television series, including Pacific Blue, and appeared in the film Corky Romano.
