Dana Kimmell's Stunt Double Marguerite Happy


from: Teddy O'Toole's Stunt Performers
Marguerite is still an active stunt woman and director of a professional rodeo circuit out of Saugus, California - where Part III was filmed. She did Dana Kimmell's fall from the window in Friday the 13th: Part III when she was being attacked by Jason as well as the stand-in and stunt performer in the (maybe, maybe not filmed) alternate ending to the movie where Chris is beheaded.

  2. I am sure that Dana Kimmel did the decapitation scene. There's photos of her doing it and that photo of the false body looks like Dana Kimmel.

    1. It is indeed Marguerite in that particular scene. Dana Kimmell may play Chris up until that point, but the women in the harness is Happy. That b&w pic is from Fangoria and was labeled as Marguerite Happy.

  3. In the Part 3 van escape scene, I have a small doubt: between Dana and Marguerite, which of them was driving the van (when Chris flees from Jason but the vehicle stalls at the old bridge due to lack of fuel)?

    Cheers for them all! XD
