While she very much earned her chance to shine in an acting capacity upon being cast as herself in Tarantino's 2007 petrol-fuelled thriller Death Proof, that didn't mean that Zoƫ Bell was above getting her hands dirty when the director called "Action!"

In fact, even when the action didn't necessarily show off Bell's face squirming and gurning her way through the high speed exchanges in the flick, the actor/world class stunt woman told Tarantino where to go when he attempted to bring a second stunt performer on board to fill in for said dangerous beats.

Viewing it through the lens of someone being hired solely to execute the stunts seen in the likes of Bell's bumper bashing bout of road rage with Kurt Russell's Stuntman Mike, the Uma Thurman Kill Bill stunt double insisted that the stunts she was tasked with executing were the sort that she would be happy to take part in had someone else been cast in her role and she was simply acting as their chosen double.

Not one to refuse the chance to take things up a notch, Tarantino happily obliged his stunt muse.
