- In Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) she did the stunt for Lenore Aubert, playing Dr. Mornay, in which Mornay is thrown through the window by the monster. When the shot was first done Miss Aubert, after being thrown through the window, came flying back in, crashing into Glenn Strange, playing the monster, and causing him to break his ankle. When the scene was reshot Helen doubled for Miss Aubert and Lon Chaney Jr. doubled for Strange. This time, when she was thrown through the window the breakaway candy glass sprayed into her eyes and she had to be rushed to the hospital.
