Cory Wade Hindorff was a contestant on cycle 20 of ANTM in 2013. He was the fourteenth model eliminated and placed third.

Early Life[]

Cory was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on September 21, 1990. He is the third of four brothers. He attended Strath Haven High School there, and later studied musical theater at Point Park University. He focused his early career on live theater, and performed as Angel in Rent at a local equity house in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and Paul in a chorus line in another professional production.

Before the show, Cory performed as a drag queen under the name Serena Starr. His drag mom was RuPaul's Drag Race season three and All Stars one alum Mimi Imfurst.[1][2]

ANTM[]

Cory was best known for being proud of his sexuality. He came out to all the semifinalists by picking a guy instead of a girl at the masquerade runway show. Later, he told Tyra that he was called "Tyra" by bullies at his school. He was the fourth model called to the final cast.

Throughout the show, he was seen as the mediator for all of the drama in the house. In episode four, he talked to Chris after a fight with Mike and suggested for him to hold a house meeting and explain why he acts the way he does. He also confronted Jeremy about his feelings for Jourdan.

He was constantly criticized by Rob Evans for his masculinity in most of the judgings. There were many points where he told him he needed to look more like a man, and to tone down his femininity, which made Tyra roll her eyes. He was seen as the most convincing woman at the body spray commercial, and won first call-out.

In the finale, he was tied with Marvin as having the most support among the eliminated contestants. However, in a shocking twist, the final three Guess photos were judged right before the final runway. Cory had the lowest score, and was eliminated right then and there. He still walked in the runway.

After the cycle, he made many guest appearances on cycle 21, at the selfie runway, makeovers, and a robot themed love-story photoshoot.[3][4]
