Hollywood stuntwoman Hazel Warp dies at 93

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Hazel Warp, who was Vivien Leigh's stunt double
in "Gone With the Wind," has died. She was 93.

A spokeswoman at Evergreen Healthcare in Livingston confirmed Friday
that Warp died Tuesday at Livingston Memorial Hospital. A cause of
death wasn't released.

Warp, who rode and trained horses, was a stand-in for Leigh in all the
horseback-riding scenes in the 1939 movie. She also took a fall for
Leigh, tumbling down the stairs of Tara in the famous scene near the
end of the film when Scarlett O'Hara reaches out to slap Rhett Butler,
loses her balance and falls.

"I never will forget it," Warp said of her Hollywood work in a 2005
interview with the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. "I liked it, everything
about it. I just liked my work."

Warp also appeared in "Wuthering Heights," "Ben-Hur" and "National
Velvet," among other films.
