If you see double as you read this, just relax. We are about to engage in a little double-talk, but all should be clear in the end. It starts this way: Mitzi Green plays a stunt girl on the show, So This Is Hollywood. Gen¬ erally, she is doubling for “movie star April Adams” (played by Peggy Knudsen) to protect that expensive Adams’ neck—or so the scripts read. However, last month the script called for Mitzi—disguised as a man— to leap from a balcony to a barroom floor 12 feet below and slug it out with a bruiser. This feat was too much for “stunt girl” Mitzi, even though she said she was willing to try. So, a stunt girl (a real one, Shirley Lucas, a blonde who looks remarkably like Mitzi) was hired to double for the double. The results you see on these All's well: Mitzi Green, left, and Shirley Lucas relaxing on set after the day's hectic work had ended.
