| Annie was raised in Malibu, California. She grew up in the ocean, doing all kinds of water sports and was four time National and World Champion in Western and Stock Horse events. Annie is a 2nd generation Stuntwoman. Her father, Richard “Papa” Ellis, was a well-known and loved Stuntman, as was her brother, David, who went from being a Stuntman and Stunt Coordinator to a Feature Film Director today.
Annie was studying to be a Veterinarian, when in 1977 she got a call from family friend and legendary Stuntman, Big Ronnie Rondell, asking her to double Cheryl Ladd on Charlie’s Angels T.V. Show in a surfing sequence. Annie’s Stunt career was off and running and quickly turned into her main passion. “I was very lucky and privileged to be trained by and work with the best in the business, such as Ronnie Rondell, Bobby Bass, Gene LeBell, Richard Ellis, David Ellis, R.A. Rondell, Terry Leonard, Mic Rodgers, Vic Armstrong, Dick Ziker, Henry Kinji, Mickey Gilbert, etc.” Annie’s specialties include horse work, water work, fights, and all kinds of car work. She has doubled such actresses as Madonna, Glenn Close, Heather Locklear, Pamela Anderson, Helen Hunt, Linda Hamilton, Beverly D’Angelo, Jamie Lee Curtis, Anne Heche, and many more. Annie’s extensive resume includes thousands of T.V. shows and over 150 top Feature Films, including Snakes on a Plane, Mission Impossible 3, War of the Worlds, Titanic, XXX: State of the Union, Matrix Reloaded, Twister, The Fast and Furious 1, 2 &3, Charlie’s Angels 1 & 2, Fatal Attraction, Spiderman, Cellular, Final Destination 2, Skeleton Key, Bad Boys 2 and Collateral. Annie has Stunt Coordinated and Co-Coordinated several films, and hopes to move more in that direction, as well as into 2nd-Unit Directing. She is a member of SAG, AFTRA, Women In Film, and The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Annie still has her love for the ocean and for animals, and still judges Horse Shows once in a while. She is involved with many Charity events and groups, including Malibu Boardriders and Camp Ronald McDonald, for children afflicted with cancer. In 1991, close friend and fellow Stuntwoman Paula Moody broke her back in an equestrian accident and had multiple surgeries. Annie, with help from Cris Palomino and several other women from United Stuntwomen’s Assoc., organized the first Charity Stunt Bowl in 1992, with all the proceeds to benefit Paula. “My dream was to have a fund for injured Stuntwomen, which would provide financial assistance to Stuntwomen who have debilitating illnesses or injuries.” The Foundation was finally born in 2003. Annie, as president of the Stuntwomen’s Foundation, created the first “World Stunt Poker Classic” to raise money for the Foundation. The Poker Classic drew 118 players, including many Celebrities and Pro Poker Players, and will be an annual event to benefit the Stuntwomen’s Foundation. |
