Helen Gibson(1892-1977)
- Actress
- Stunts
Helen Gibson was one of the earliest serial stars. In 1915 she took
over the title role in
The Hazards of Helen (1914)
from Helen Holmes. Known for her
athletic abilities and willingness to do dangerous but exciting stunts,
she made the transition from serials to features easily. She was the
second wife of cowboy star Hoot Gibson.
After her starring days ended in the early 1920s, she went on to become
one of the industry's best stunt women, while also taking small acting
parts, until her retirement in early 1962.
