Double Dare Page #2

---

there were Eppers

flying all over the place.

There were Eppers

coming in from screen left...

Eppers coming in from screen right--

they were everywhere.

I've been a stunt man

for thirty-five years.

I met Jeannie Epper

on one of my first big, long jobs.

There has never been--I don't think--

as wild a group of stunt people

as there was back then.

Jeannie grew up with all that.

She was pretty crazy.

There are girls like Jeannie,

but there aren't many.

Slow down

Baby

Got my heart goin' round and' round

You live too fast

You got no class

Slow down, baby

Slow down

Back to ones, please.

Just line up. Just line up.

Just line up, gentlemen, where

you're going to be. Right about there.

Very still, very quiet.

And action.

Cut.

Nice work, guys.

OK, Pete, so now we're looking at...

Most of us don't do it for the money.

You don't stay in a business

all these years...

if you don't love it.

Well, I'm glad I got a chance

to meet you before I die.

The one thing I have learned

about myself...

and my ability to do stunt work

is that...

since I'm a Christian,

and I've learned how to trust God...

the longer I'm allowed

to stay on this earth...

the more challenges He has for me.

I have spent most of my life

as a caretaker...

taking care of everybody else.

I mean, I had babies.

I had a baby when I was sixteen,

so I was already a Mommy.

As a woman, we're taught

that we're supposed to still be...

the moms and the cooks

and the cleaners.

And yet you're putting in

a twelve, thirteen-hour-day.

It really wore me out.

It's not like my mom

is just another stuntwoman.

Everyone looks so up to her...

and so I've got to follow

in her footsteps.

And sometimes it's hard.

Let me know when you're ready, Eurlyne.

You ready? OK.

All right, Eurlyne. Come on.

Hit your mark.

All righty. How was it?

I'm just out of practice, I think.

She's been too busy having kids.

When she was young

and building her career...

she was working a lot.

And then, you know,

she took time out to have babies...

which is almost like

a cardinal sin in Hollywood.

I don't know,

it just seems to work out.

I've got my Mom. If she's not

working, she can help me out.

She's been great with my kids.

Now do a seat drop. Do a seat drop.

OK, now can you--oops.

Jeannie's relationship

with her grandkids is quite unique.

Go on, Mathew, go! Go!

- Go, Matt! Come on, Mathew, go!

- Go, Matt!

Go, Matt, go! Go, go, go!

It gets difficult with the grandkids...

because she's got four of them,

and there's one on the way...

and she tries to spend as much time

as she can with them.

Jeannie,

are you going to ride, Jeannie?

You have to jump this way.
