THE POP EXPOSE – Tracey Eddon Hollywood Stunt Double!
Story by Mitchell Smith
Hello everybody. Today I’m taking a look at Tracey Eddon, born in 1958 in England. Eddon was a stunt double for many years and helped make some of the greatest moments in Hollywood history. Many behind the scenes people go unnoticed so I thought it would be fun to bring someone to the forefront. Eddon was in Superman III, and landed another huge roll that same year as Princess Leia’s slave stunt double and C-3PO’s double. One of the major stunts she did was when C-3PO falls off the sail barge right before it explodes.
Eddon doubled in a ton of movies like Labyrinth, Batman, Mission Impossible, and Harry Potter to name a few. The stunt work runs deep in the Eddon family, her husband and daughter also are stunt doubles.
A lot of the time the doubles miss out on the fame but I bet they have a lot of fun on set. Maybe I’ll look into how to become a stunt double but I might be past my prime, have a great week everyone. Are you familiar with Tracey Eddon? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!
