Interview with Stuntwoman LaFaye Baker Part 2: Hustle!
…presenting us women. LaFaye: Yeah, and I’ve been out there for a bit doing stuntwork and stunt coordinating, which is good, because I think it’s really important to kind of be out there and help the next generation of stuntwomen. AFC: Do you ever get asked to do things you’re not comfortable with? LaFaye: It depends on the person’s personality whether they’ll ask you to do something like that.

Interview with David Leitch (Matrix, 300, Wolverine, Bourne Ultimatum, Confessions of an Action Star) Pt. 1
…l actor in front of it and people are used to seeing that. So why hire the stunt doubles and try and do a big stunt that isn’t going to be as dramatic for the film?

Tonie Miller Auer: Princess Bride – when Buttercup and the Dread Pirate Roberts/Wesley are “falling” down the hill heading toward the Fire Swamp. Will Bates: Spaceballs…….. Continue reading
Interview with Stuntwoman LaFaye Baker pt 1
…ther person she was working with who turned out to have a friend who was a stunt coordinator. “How ironic was that!” So she started working out and training for some stunts on Sundays. And the rest is history. She got a call about three months after she started training and she accepted her first job. “I didn’t really know too much. I was still kind of green because no one told me about the business, but working out and hearing about it piqued my… Continue reading
