- Jeannie Epper was born to be a Hollywood stuntwoman - her father, mother and siblings were all stunt people, too. The groundbreaking performer, who did stunts for many of the most important women of film and television in the 1970s and '80s (including Lynda Carter on TV's "Wonder Woman"), has died at age 83. In this CBS News profile first broadcast on May 3, 1979, Dan Rather interviewed Epper about the hazards of her profession.

Oh no
RIP to this dear lady
45 years and two days after this broadcast. RIP
A family of stunt people? Wow!
I never knew Jeannie was behind the notorious stunt doubles on all these classic movies & TV shows. God bless her!
The real Wonder Woman, it turns out.
Definitely.
There's is no real wonder. women......
.
@@user-ep4xp8yc9v Ah yes, exposing the great mysteries, one at a time.
This was awesome! Especially behind the scenes of Wonder Woman and the movies she worked on
Thank you for giving us excitement over all these years.
You're welcome.
Amazing, especially the behind the scenes portion.
This is great to see! Wow! I always wondered who was doing the stunts. I knew Lynda did the stunt from hanging from the helicopter. The stunt coordinator has been in some of the shows too. That’s great they all take care of her!
It is time to honor these corageous men and women of the entertainment industry with an Academy Award.
Jeannie Epper R.I.P.
I'm surprised I haven't seen a documentary about her and her family. She deserves it
Rest in peace.
Wow! Fascinating career and gosh what incredible talent!
Nice long life! Cheers to you Ms. Epper!
I'm glad they do have Start coordinators now. Now they need to be getting Oscars.
And showing them getting them.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I have always thought that Lynda Carter was the most beautiful woman in the world!
No you didn't always think that. There was a time when you didn't know about her.
So interesting!
What a great reminder...
growing up in the 70s and 80s i wonder how often i saw her and did not even know it. i hope you are at peace Jeannie.
She did well glad to remember
Nice time capsule
A courageous woman and having a loving husband to understand.
Really cool😮
Ohmsnap...didn't even think of the stunt woman in the Pam Grier ...good work..love Pam😍..but good work..bravo👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
💫 wow ..
what a fantastic story, who knew. Jeannie - you were awesome
Rest in peace 🕊️🙏 Jeannie Epper. It must run in the family to be a stunt woman or man.
Jeannie Epper was a true Wonder Woman.
Rest in peace Jeannie epper !🇺🇸 Wonder Woman
Ever since Spaceballs at captured someone stunt doubles it's been my mission to find the stunt doubles😅😅😅
She passes away on May 5th. 🙏🏽🥲
The stunt coordinator isn’t exactly brimming with confidence 😮
She ended up taking in and mentoring Uma Thurmans stunt double Zoe Bell.
That's not Wonder Woman....you captured her stunt double! --Colonel Sandurz
I read that her youngest child, Kurtis, died before her. Sad.
How'd she get that scar on her left jawline
Does anyone know the name of the Barnaby Jones episode? Thanks
Wow, they only made $225 in the 70's. I see Pam Grier injured her with that frame. Ouch!
They both were Super nice role models. 🙏 Safe animations. #Woman
Wow. Questioning my Wonder Woman habit…. 💙♥️💕
♥️
RIP
All I remembered as a teen was vavoom wonder woman.
Foxy Brown
Who dose Lyle Waggoner's stunts?
The stunt people were not appreciated at all.
Lynda Carter walked off with the big paycheques and her stunt double walked off with the big bruises.
Maybe after you retire from education, you can consider doing stunt work in Hollywood?
*she's a lady stuntman
"happily married" that happi always gets throwed in. throwed over a balcony (cushion i hope) then cut to flat on back?
Artificial intelligence stunt doubles.
