Caucasians - African Americans - Latinos - Asians - Native Americans
Do you know what a paint-down is? Have you ever heard of ticket-switching? Are you aware that white stuntpeople get more N.D. work than black stuntpeople? These are just a few of the issues facing the minority stunt community.
In her new book, SCANDAL: Hollywood STUNT SLAVES?, Kelsee L. king-Devoreaux takes us behind the scenes, and gives us a clear, hard look at the reality a minority stuntperson faces every day. In addition to the ever-present danger, Ms. Devoreaux has had to struggle with both racial and sexual discrimination. Many stunt coordinators reserve the higher-paying stunts and most non-descript jobs for Caucasians. Some use whites to stunt double for minorities by painting them down. Unbelievable? It happens time after time. In this revealing tell all, Ms. Devoreaux shines a bright light on discriminatory practices that have, until now been hidden from public view.
