Victoria was raised in a Bible-believing, piano-playing, gymnastic home with no TV. Her dad was a gym coach so she competed in gymnastics from age 5 to l8. Was a cheerleader and a homecoming queen. Attended Florida Bible College; received gymnastic scholarship to Furman University, attended Auburn University one year and ended up in Hollywood, California via summer-stock in Alabama, where she met Johnny Crawford (of The Rifleman (1958) fame).
