Jeannie Epper, the stuntwoman known for her work in the made-for-TV version of 'Wonder Woman,' has died at 85. Epper died of natural causes Sunday at her home in Simi Valley, California, according to family spokesperson Amanda Micheli. The stuntwoman followed in the footsteps of her family as her parents, John and Frances Epper, were also stunt performers. All of her siblings — Tony, Margo, Gary, Andy and Stephanie — joined the family dynasty of stunt work as well.
She worked with director Steven Spielberg on films such as 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' 'Poltergeist' and 'Minority Report.' 'She certainly qualifies to be one of the great stunt coordinators,' Spielberg said in 'Double Dare.' Her later work included stunt roles in 'The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift,' 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2' and 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
