A 'Star Wars' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Stunt Double Will Lose Her Arm After Devastating Accident
Olivia Jackson is the living, breathing, beautiful epitome of a badass. Famously fearless in her work ethic, she was most recently a stunt double in 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter,' where she sustained an injury on set in October that sent her into a coma. Fortunately she pulled through, but her left arm was left paralyzed. She'll undergo an amputation surgery to have her arm removed.
Jackson told the Sun, "My left arm is paralyzed and is going to have to be amputated. My facial scarring is horrible and I wish I had my old face. But I'm truly grateful to be alive."
A quick look at Jackson's lengthy list of injuries — two weeks in a coma, severed artery in her neck, spinal cord nerves ravaged, and broken ribs, clavicle, humerus — it's something of a shining miracle that she is.
