From Hook, Jurassic Park, The Goonies, Hocus Pocus to Matilda, she’s pretty much been in all of them.

Laura Dash is a professional stunt woman and has been working in Hollywood since the 1980’s. At 4ft 5in she has mainly been a stunt double for child actors which means she has performed in most of our favourite childhood movies.

Her nephew shared this photo on Imgur and after seeing the huge response he encouraged her to share her story and more photos with the public.

From being a stunt double for Maggie in Hook, to playing Tim in Jurassic Park she’s been in most of the movies we loved growing up.

She shared her story on Reddit and did a q&a session with the public. When asked about which movie was her favourite she said, “I’d have to say it’s a toss up between Goonies and Hook. Goonies we got paid to go down waterslides, and on Hook just the sets were amazing, and the cast and the crew and I mean – we would be laughing every day.”
