Who Was the Stuntwoman?


I think that the stunt of Tina's falling onto a car in slow motion wearing only a negligie is the greatest stunt done by a female. It's the best I've seen, anyway. Does anyone know who the stuntwoman was on this gag?

Also, if you know of a better stunt by a stuntwoman, let me know, please.

I don't know who she was but I have to agree with you. I just watched this film again tonight(one of my all time favs) and I'm always amazed at that stunt. to this day I think it is one of if not the best high falls (wher they show impact)ever put on film. great stunt, great movie.

I know right!? That scene was horrifying it seemed so real. I actually rewound and watched it again. I felt like I had just seen someone die for real. So realistic. : )

I watched the DVD commentary with writer/Director Michael Crichton. All he said about the fall & crash on the car was that it was a "hairy stunt". I could tell that much just by watchin' it.

Of course, if the scene was "real" there would've been quite a lot of blood, I would think.

according to the credits, Paula Dell.

Thanks for the response. I looked to Ms. Dell's IMDb profile & it turns out that she graduated high school in 1943. That means she was born circa 1925 & would have been 55 or so at the time of that stunt. The woman in the stunt looks maybe 35 or less.

There is another stunt woman listed, I just noticed. Eurlyne Epper (b. 1960) is a blonde & looks like she could be the one.

Thanks again,
Chairman Moe
