Update


I got back in LA yesterday from both South Carolina and New Jersey. We had a nice time visiting Jon's family. I didn't realize how many alligators there are in South Carolina. They are just hanging out on the golf course while you play. I am not a huge fan of alligators. I think of them as really really big spiders with large teeth. (this is a picture of an alligator Jon took on his camera phone while he was golfing)

We drove from SC to NJ on Friday morning and on Friday night we went to a Third Eye Blind (great 90's music) in the middle of no where in New Jersey in this small little venue. It brought back so many good high school memories.

Unfortunately, the show Drive that I worked on a bunch was cancelled after only airing three episodes. Apparently, they aren't even going to air the rest of the shows that we filmed. I guess that is show biz. It is a bummer because that was some good work and a good show.

The movie Next that both Jon and I (I doubled Julianne Moore and Jessica Biel when their regular doubles weren't available)worked on last summer opened this weekend. We haven't had a chance to go see but I looks pretty good.

In Hilton Head Island SC


We flew in to New Jersey on Thursday night and we drove through the night and arrived in South Carolina yesterday. We are here vacationing for a week unless one of us gets a call for work and in which case we would head back to LA early. We are staying at a very nice resort and playing tennis and golfing all week (what a stereo type) but it should be fun. The weather was great today. I went for a nice jog along the beach today and saw a family of dolphins swimming right up on shore. It was amazing.

We drive back to NJ on Friday morning and then are head to a Third Day Blind concert (great 90's music) on Friday night which we have back stage passes too. We fly back to LA on Saturday morning. Here is a picture from the balcony of our villa (the picture was taken on my computer camera so it isn't the best but it gives you an idea).

The Worst Wig Ever



I hope all of you watched Drive on Sunday because I have been working on it a lot and I want the show to stay on the air. Here are two pictures from when I worked on the episode that aired Sunday. Like I said, I rode passenger during some of the high speed chases. As you can tell from the picture, the girl I am doubling (who happens to be the same girl that I worked with in Hawaii who was doubling Juliet and is pictures a few posts down my site) is taller than me but when you are riding passenger in a car that doesn't matter. It was funny doubling another stuntwoman.

We all had a good laugh about how awful the wig was. It didn't match Shawna's hair at all but it was a last minute thing so they did the best they could. Don't forget to watch Drive every Monday on Fox. I will be in some of the upcoming episodes.

Worked all Week

I worked all week on the new TV show Drive that premiers this Sunday on Fox. I worked on the pilot a few days also however you can't really tell it is me because I was riding passenger during some of the high speed chases. I can't even tell you how much fun it was. I worked a ton of hours this week and I am so beat today but I love I mean love to work. Sleepiness is nothing a little coffee can't solve.

"I Do My Own Stunts"

People always ask me if it is true when an actors says "I do my own stunts". Here is an interesting article about just that.

The Show Last night

I was on Lost three times last night. Did you see me all three times? If you haven't scene the episode and plan to stop reading I don't want to spoil anything for you. Here is a picture taken of me and the other stunt girl after the fight in the rain and after working all night. We were very cold and very wet but we really had a good time.


It this picture I had to do a standing front flip to my back hand cuffed on to the cement. The only thing I was really nervous about was not getting high enough and hitting my head since I can't get any momentum. It turned out great and I only had to do it twice. If you go slow motion you can see that I was wearing a back bad so I didn't break my ribs.


The third picture is our big fight in the rain. They ended up cutting half of the fight out in the editing room, which is very normal for TV. It is always hard to see how they edited fights because when you do it you picture it differently. I still think it told the story.


The last stunt I honestly can't tell if it is me or Evie. We both did it a few times and I can't tell if it is her or me. I guess that is a good thing if I can't even tell if it is me or not. This was a super fun stunt. I loved rolling around in the mud.

Interview

I just wanted to thank The Lost Blog for taking their time to interview me and shed some light into the world of Lost through a stunt persons' eyes. I hope it's a welcomed perspective for their readers. If you want to read the interview click here.
