Interview with Stuntwoman Bridgett Riley
Action Flick Chick Katrina Hill talks with Bridgett Riley about going from boxer to stuntwoman: “Women get minimal pads if any at times and high heeled shoes are
sometimes a must depending on camera. Wardrobe sometimes makes us shoes
that are stunt friendly. I like these wardrobe people. It just depends
on the shot. The Silk Spectre outfit was horrifying to me. I was like, Ugh, I better lose weight.”
