Kathryn speaks with an accomplished horse rider, archer, martial artist, gymnast and sword fighter who can fall from high places and emerge from fire unscathed! If she sounds like a modern day Wonder Woman, that's actually fitting, because that's probably where you've seen her last. Dayna Grant is a Kiwi stuntwoman with multiple film and TV credits to her name: from the early days on Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess to Max Max: Fury Road, Snow White and Huntsman, Underworld 3, The Meg, Adrift and yes, Wonder Woman 1984. Her work on that last production netted her a Screen Actors Guild Award last year for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Motion Picture. The Ngapuhi performer and mother of three is also the founder of the New Zealand Stunt School, which helps to train the next generation of stunt artists.
