Who was Kitty O'Neil?

Kitty O'Neil Born: 24 March 1946, Corpus Christi, Texas, United States

She has been deaf since childhood, and the company refers to her as a "famous" stuntwoman, daredevil, and rocket-powered automobile driver.

She was the first woman to join Stunts Unlimited, a group for the top stuntmen in Hollywood, according to information provided by Google. This is due to her performance in a variety of films and television shows, such as "Bionic Woman," "Wonder Woman," and "The Cheeky Brothers."

She was designated "the fastest woman in the world" after travelling through the Alvord Desert at a speed of 512.76 mph, or 824 kph. She succeeded in breaking the women's record in the process, and Google reports that when she wanted to attempt to break the men's record, she was denied the opportunity because they wanted to save it for a guy.

On November 2, 2018, in Eureka, South Dakota, O'Neil, 72, passed away from pneumonia.
