stuntwoman

Thornton was given a Liverpool shirt in the early 2000s by his friend, Hollywood stuntwoman Eunice Huthart and a huge Reds fan.

The lone, unnamed gladiatrix in the 2000 film is played by stuntwoman Jane Omorogbe, denoted under “stunts” in the closing credits.

Thomas was indelible in the 1980s, the age of mullets, leg warmers and “The Fall Guy” in which she played stuntwoman Jody Banks opposite a bounty hunter created by Lee Majors.

The third incident was in 2020, when a stuntwoman was injured when she hit her head on a fitting at the bottom of the tank she was working in during a rehearsal for “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” according to Amazon and WorkSafe, New Zealand’s government health and safety regulator.

“She could have made a great stuntwoman driver,” James said.
