She was born on July 1, 1980, in Charlotte, North Carolina, as Emily Fortune Feimster.
The name Fortune is her great-grandmother’s surname.
She is the youngest of Mike and Ginger Feimster’s three kids—her older brothers’ names are Price and Jay.
The Feimsters were based in Belmont, NC, for most of Fortune’s childhood, where she went to Belmont Central Elementary School.
After that, she moved on to Belmont Junior High and South Point High School, where she played softball—her dad taught her everything she knows about the sport—as well as basketball and tennis. Feimster graduated high school in 1998.
A true Southern girl, Fortune went through the tradition of being presented to society when she turned 18.
The young debutante attended the Gastonia Debutante Ball in 1998, and then went on to college.
Enrolled at the female-only Peace College, Feimster majored in communications and continued with basketball and tennis.
As if that wasn’t enough to keep the young go-getter busy, she was also voted student body president.
Fortune was always popular, thanks to her outgoing nature and positivity.
She graduated from Peace College summa cum laude and gave the student commencement speech.
That year, the guest speaker was actress Emily Procter—who connected with Fortune later in her career.
After graduating, Feimster headed overseas and spent a year living in Europe, before heading back to the US and settling in Los Angeles to find work.
