Yakima Canutt---the World's Greatest Stuntman, Rodeo Cowboy, and Second Unit Director https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakima_Canutt Back in the old days (1920s-1930s) Yakima basically invented the modern science of Stunt work. He developed all kinds of stunts...horse falls, wagon smashes while letting the team of horses escape and the wagon crash right on cue in front of the camera! Yakima and Duke Wayne actually invented the Screen Fight. They figured out a way to throw punches according to camera angles which totally revolutionized Screen fights from then on. After dozens of films, Yakima was the second unit director on BEN-HUR. He taught Charlton Heston and Stephen Boyd to drive chariots for real. It took 5 months to film the 20 minute segment. The stuntman who did this jump was Yakima's son, Joe. Joe didn't listen to Yak and didn't wear a chain to hold him in on the jump. He was so athletic that Joe actually landed on his feet. They kept the scene in, later having Chuck Heston climb back in! Yakima's two sons actually did the joust in EL CID. |

John Wayne recommended his buddy, Yakima, to John Ford for STAGECOACH. He was so amazing that John Ford used him for the rest of his career if he was available. Yakima's techniques are still used today..... |

TARZAN AND THE GREAT RIVER......1967..... Diana Millay and Mike Henry They made three Tarzan movies with Mike Henry. They filmed them all back-to-back in 1965. Then they slowly released one every year. Astonishingly, Diana Millay and Mike Henry both died on the same day! Just a few weeks ago, on January 8, 2021. |

Isn't that the one where you were Henry's stunt double? Or was it Millay's...

Bette Davis plays an attorney at odds with Hamilton Burger in a 1962 episode of Perry Mason while Raymond Burr was out for some surgery. In proper Perry Mason fashion Bette finds the real murderer in the courtroom! |
