TURNING UP THE HEAT: DA Cole Interviews Stunt Woman Jean Coulter

After spending less than 20 years in the business I am now known as an Icon, A Legend and  The world's most famous stunt woman. My peers have labeled me with  these discriptions  because of the hard stunts I successfully completed  and the big movies and tv series I worked on during the 70s and 80s., The fact that I'm still walking and talking after the difficult  stunts I completed while wearing little clothes and no padding on most of them.. very few men or women worked 199 days a year doing daily jobs...and very few men or women did all the different types of stunts I have done with cars, animals, including wild animals, horses , dogs etc, high falls, fight scenes, helicopters, planes, water work, car hits. I was the only woman in 1977 that was given the job as co-coordinator of a major motion picture called " Airport 77 " while also stunt doubling the lead actress and playing a part in the movie."  I also followed that with doing many other coordinating jobs by myself,  including one movie of the week.. In those years very few wemon we're even given the opportunity to coordinate.. Some of the women I stunt doubled for were:; Farrah Fawcett ,Cheryl Ladd ,Janet Leigh ,Stockard Channing ,Faye Grant ,Faye Dunaway ,Jaclyn Smith, Kate Jackson and many more through the years.Some of the movies I did we're : Jaws2, Airport 77, Blues Brothers, Cujo, The End, Charlie's Angels tv series, "V", Mash,Swatt,  on and on. Doing stuntwork, doing acting parts, and stunt co ordinating. I was one of three womenn that had been considered for an all men's stunt group called Stunts Unlimited. I also developed, financed and promoted a camera car business , which is still working today called "Camera Cars Unlimited".
