Stunts


Polly Burson, The Perils of Pauline: This is the second time this title hits the list, but this one is really just a reference to the previous film, not a sequel to it. This film is a semi-biography on Pearl White (mostly fictional), the actress that played Pauline in the first film. Betty Hutton plays Pearl and Polly Burson is Betty Hutton's stunt double. Staying true to who Pearl White really was (an actress that didn't use stunt doubles) I think it would have been more fitting to just have Polly Burson play Pearl, but to Betty's credit, she does a great job.
