Stunt double for Kiwi
27 September 2005

She's had more than her share of Hollywood knock-downs, but Kiwi stuntwoman Zoe Bell reigned supreme yesterday after taking out two international stunt awards.

Bell won best fight scene and stuntwoman at the Taurus World Stunt Awards � the industry's equivalent of the Oscars � for her work as Uma Thurman's double in Kill Bill 2, along with fellow nominee Monica Staggs.

The 28-year-old, whose career began as Lucy Lawless' stunt double on Xena, suffered major injuries on the set of the Quentin Tarantino film, reportedly taking a year off work after she dislocated her wrist and required surgery.

Proceeds from the awards � which were created in 2001 � go toward helping stunt performers who experience debilitating injuries in their work.

Bell was also nominated in the high work category for her performance as Sharon Stone's Catwoman stunt double, but the award was won by Starsky & Hutch stuntman Greg Fitzpatrick.

The Hollywood ceremony � famed for wowing its audience with stunts � was attended by an array of celebrities including California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford, Jennifer Garner, Vin Diesel, Vince Vaughn, David Arquette and Keanu Reeves.

The Waiheke-born performer told The Dominion Post earlier this year she had always been athletic, but not necessarily healthy. "I've always drunk a lot and smoked and eaten shitty food."

Bell previously described landing Kill Bill as "such a Hollywood story". Initially heading for Canada in 2002, her plans were diverted when she received an emergency call from Tarantino's camp.
