A couple of weeks ago I found myself watching "The Gladiators Story" on Sky3 (a repeat from last year when Sky remade the show) and they interviewed Eunice. She said that she had been working as a stuntwoman for many Hollywood films over the years.

Her entry on IMDB shows that she's actually done quite a lot!

Good to see she was able to use the show as a step up to a career.

Ah Eunice, she's a legend! I can remember being about seven and watching her on Gladiators. I remember that my cousin (aged four or five at the time) used to refer to her as 'Eunice Hithard' - kind of appropriate in a Gladiators context!

Also, Martin, let me be the first to say: well done on getting into Who's Who!

I saw her live - I bet you're so jealous....

My PE teacher from school was her opponent, so we all went on a coach. Eunice, of course, won - much to our disappointment. I had a big foam hand and everything!

I remember her; I used to want to go on Gladiators myself...never got the chance in the end though.

she was the stunt double for the saucy sauna scene in a james bond film with pierce brosnan (lucky thing). i think it was goldeneye when he has his very energetic way with the russian girl in the sauna, but obviously actress didnt want to do it so eunice stepped in.

She was stunt co-ordinator on the first Tomb Raider film (it was on the "making of" on the DVD)
She's had a better career than Ulrikakakakakaka!

I think it's which ever film it is where they slide down the big satellite receiver dish thing as I'm sure it was her doing that as well, though obviously that would be with Brosnan's stunt double and not the man himself.
