This clip is from "Spills for Thrills", a 1940 short film from Warner Bros. which is a tribute to the stuntmen of Hollywood. This segment is a tribute to stuntwomen in general and Mary Wiggins in particular. Veteran stuntman Harvey Parry also appears here.

As the narrator points out, Mary is rather cute. She doubled for a number of attractive leading ladies including Barbara Stanwyck, Ann Sothern, Ruth Chatterton and Clara Bow.

Sadly, Mary died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1945 at the age of 36.
