Maria Hippolyte: From Hackney to Hollywood

MARIA HIPPOLYTE is a relatively new member of the British Stunt Register. She's determined, she's a great dancer and when she relaxes, she likes to knit....yep....you heard me correctly. There's a new breed on the streets and they are knit a mean beanie hat!   We talk about her career as a dancer and the circus which led her to a career in stunts. We speak at length about her first job on WONDER WOMAN and her role in BLACK PANTHER as a DORA MILAJE.   We also speak about her thoughts on being only the second black female stunt professional since the British Stunt Register began in 1973. Maria is huge fun and we hope you enjoy the episode as much as we did putting together. Sit back and enjoy Maria in full flight.   Find Maria on Instagram @mariahippolye_x_ Twitter: @mariahippolyte   Please subscribe on Apple Podcast, download, share and leave a review.
