Gone With The Wind Stuntwoman Dead At 93

August 30 2008

The woman who was VIVIEN LEIGH's stunt double in 1939 epic GONE WITH THE WIND has died.

Hazel Warp stood in for Leigh in all the horseback-riding scenes in the classic and helped to train the horses used in the film.

She also tumbled down the stairs of Scarlett O'Hara's Tara home in a pivotal role in the film.

The 93 year old also featured in beloved movies like Wuthering Heights and Ben-Hur.

It's the second Gone With The Wind-related death in as many weeks - actor Fred Crane, who played one of Scarlett O'Hara's suitors in the movie, passed away on 21 August (08).
