An Eighteen Interview With Julie Michaels �Agent Marcus�
Interview Conducted By Jason Stewart
1. When did you first take an interest in stunt work; a field that has been
> traditionally "male dominated"?
Don't underestimate the men. Stuntmen like Loren Janes paved the way for us
women. I think they just got tired of the high heels and bra's. Women like
Jeannie Epper paved the way for us ladies with her portrayal of "Wonder
Woman". Women had been well broken into the stunt world when I came along.

Kane Hodder gave my name to director Adam Marcus. The rest....is horror
history.

GREAT! I love the fact that the director carried me off the set

I get. It's not all fun and games.
