To Become a Stuntwoman …

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Upon moving to L.A. to become a Hollywood stuntwoman, I brought my athletic skills to the table. My skills gave me a leg up in the film business. I had just competed in the US National Championships and made the US National Trampoline Team to compete in the World Trampoline Championships in Porto, Portugal in 1994.  This video is a sample of my skills back then.

If you have the wonderful opportunity to watch the Trampoline competition in the upcoming Summer Olympics, you’ll be amazed at how it has evolved in such a short period of time.  I don’t know if I could have kept up!  Today’s trampoline athletes are absolutely amazing.  Check them out this August.

Alien Raiders

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Happy New Year Everybody! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged, but I ended the year on a positive note which leads me right into an optimistic new year.

Just before my Christmas vacation, I worked on a horror film called Alien Raiders. I doubled the charming wife of Brandon Routh - Superman, himself. He spent the day on the set with his wife, Courtney Ford, so I got to meet him. Let me tell you, he’s much more attractive in person. Not only that, both he and his wife were simply adorable: nice, accommodating, professional and all good things like that.

As for my stunts, it was a brutal day. I slammed myself against walls, floors and tables all day. It was one of those kind of jobs where you are reminded that the body can take so much more than you think. I really pushed the limits. It’s a miracle that I wasn’t torn up after that. I guess your body gets used to it after years of stunting.

BOY!

Now – for 2008! … with Enthusiasm!
