New documentary, Double Dare, about legendary stuntwomen Jeannie Epper (Wonder Woman)
and Zoë Bell (Xena and Kill Bill),
While watching the movie about her stuntwoman, Zoë, Lucy made that weird warbling noise that she does on Xena.
It’s not often I hop a plane for work, but when I do, I invariably end up in L.A. (let’s not even talk about the time I had to judge a model search in Kentucky. So wrong). And with the chance to crash a movie screening at Quentin Tarantino’s house in the Hollywood Hills, I was so ready. Want his address?
With my pal Shaana in tow, I grabbed our rented white Buick (no wonder the hotel guys at the Chateau Marmont “lost our reservation”) and headed to the event. Then the heavens opened up and poured rain for 24 hours. And I mean freakin’ poured.
Being an idiot, I packed my spikiest heels (Q.T.’s driveway is a hill unto itself, and a wet one at that). But maybe I’m not a complete dope, because I was able to bring the event flowers in my waterproof vinyl flower bag from Target’s Swell line. It’s just part of the very mod fashion line from Cynthia Rowley and Ilene Rosenzweig. A promotion girl’s dream, it kept the Gerber daisies dry, but my shoes were headed for the trash.
The rain kept 99.9 percent of the celebrities away (more parking space for my big-ass Buick), but I did get to see Quentin himself (I call him Quentin), who was bouncing off the walls, and incredibly friendly. Luke Wilson slunk in after the flick was over, looking hot even with a porn star mustache. My favorite was Lucy Lawless, who ate a big hunk of chocolate, drank Coke and was totally funny. Why the hell were we there? To support the new documentary, Double Dare, about legendary stuntwomen Jeannie Epper (Wonder Woman) and Zoë Bell (Xena and Kill Bill), by director Amanda Micheli. With Quentin’s strong support, Micheli hopes to get the flick distributed soon. Look for it.
