Kylie Furneaux
Ky spent much of her early childhood running wild in small rural towns around South Australia, having adventures and riding her horse through the bush with a freedom that only small country towns allowed. When she was 19 however, all that changed when a car she was a passenger in collided at high speed with a concrete pole, fracturing a vertebra in her spine. As a result, she was told that she would never be physically active again, a life sentence that she was not prepared to stick to. Her love of nature and determination inspired her to use rock climbing as a recovery tool.
It was on one of these outdoor programs that a participant suggested that Ky’s physical prowess might be better suited to the world of stunts. New dream in hand, Ky headed to Canada and trained for three years in a variety of martial arts and weapons before landing her first big job doubling Sharon Stone in Catwoman. Doubling Jennifer Garner for Elektra soon followed and her career in stunts took off. Although it included such notable films as The Avengers, Thor, Pirates of the Caribbean and X-Men and actresses such as Anne Hathaway, Ellen DeGeneres and Jessica Biel, it still came as a surprise to Ky when she was awarded the World Taurus Stunt Award for The Best Female Stunt Performer in the world in 2012.
