• #WHM2018 Day 4 • HELEN GIBSON Actress, Producer & Stuntwoman 1892-1977 Helen Gibson was a film actress, vaudeville performer, radio performer, film producer, trick rider and rodeo performer; and is considered to be the first American professional stunt woman. Helen saw her first Wild West show in 1909 and answered a Miller Brothers 101 Ranch ad for girl riders in Billboard magazine. They taught her to ride, and she started performing with the 101 Ranch Real Wild West Show in 1910. When the tour was unexpectedly canceled while the group was in Venice, CA, the New York Motion Picture Company hired the entire cast for the winter at $2,500 a week as ”cowboy extras,” making Helen Hollywood’s first professional American stuntwoman. In 1912, she made $15 a week for her first billed role as Ruth Roland's sister in ”Ranch Girls on a Rampage.” In the 1920s, Helen started her own production company so she could produce films around her stunts. Helen continued acting and stunt-doubling, most notably as Helen Holmes’ stunt double in ”The Hazards of Helen” adventure series, until her retirement in 1954. However, in 1961, she filmed her last role in director John Ford's ”The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance” (1962); she was 69 years old and paid $35. Over the course of her 50-year career, Helen worked on almost 200 short reel and feature-length films. • #HelenGibson #actor #producer #stunting #stuntwoman #stuntdouble #WomensHistoryMonth #womenshistory #WHM #history #film #filmmaking #filmmaker #filmhistory #Hollywood #OldHollywood #SilentEra #womeninfilm #entertainment #entertainmentindustry #bosslady #womenkickass #girlpower #shero #ifshecanseeitshecanbeit #representation #representationmatters
