And quite often they're doing gags

where they can't pad up.

Whereas, the men can pad up.

They've got baggy pants,

baggy shirts, and jackets.

The first rule of women of film...

is that they have to look good...

apparently.

Apparently, that's the first rule.

They've got the low-cut top,

they've got the sleeveless outfit.

Where do you put your pads?

Where do you put your protection?

You don't.

If you can't put it on the ground,

you got to bite it and go.

When I was doing "Wonder Woman"...

you couldn't wear

any stunt padding at all.

But they did let us wear nylons.

We got to wear support hose.

Luckily, the second season,

we had flat boots.

The first year,

we did not have flat boots.

They made us boots

that were like wedgie heels.

I used to tape my ankles,

almost like a football player.

You just put on

what they give you and do it.

The dawn of the stuntwoman

is a recent breakthrough.

In those days,

there were no stuntwomen.

The men donned dresses and wigs

and fell off horses.

Due to the affirmative action

of the seventies...

women were given the opportunity

to perform all the stunts.

Now, mind you, by this time...

Jeannie had already proved herself

with the guys.

Being a stuntwoman

didn't delete from my femininity.

I better warn you--

I got a black belt in karate.

But I had the competitiveness--

to compete not with other women,

but to compete with other men...

other stuntmen.

There were

very, very few women back then...

that could hold council with the men.

They were told what to do

and where to do it and where to go.

As we grew, and there became

more and more of us...

we decided to bond together

and represent ourselves.

So, we started our own group.

Girls, we need to move on.

Actually, we have four girls

who are up for new membership.

I would rather bring somebody

into the group...

who's been well-established

and has paid their dues--

their ass off in this business.

You know what?

I don't think enough girls

in the group are working as it is.

I'm not, I know that.

And to get more girls in

and to have them work...

You know, God bless them,

they're working.

But you know what?

We need to work first.

You know, if excellence

is what we're presenting out there...

then we have to bring in excellent girls.

- Meeting adjourned.

- It's adjourned.

- Bye.

- Meeting adjourned.

I was a size 34A...

and I'm a 34B+/C, so...

But I did do it for me,

and as you can tell...

it's not very big and not overly done.

- Well, it took you a while because--

- Hopefully, it looks nice, you know?

- They look great. Who did them?

- Doctor Pector.

Doctor Pector did your pecs, huh?

Yes. He's done
