"I'd challenge any 25 year old to a race, because I'd win." says FOF Cheryl Wheeler Duncan. She's not bragging; it's just the truth.
At 50, Cheryl has a body that would make any 25 year old jealous. A Black Belt Hall of Fame kickboxing champion, Cheryl is the go-to stunt woman for A-list starlets including Jessica Alba, Jennifer Garner and Cameron Diaz. "Stunt doubling for a much younger actress could make her uncomfortable, but that's never really happened to me," says Cheryl. "They're like 'I wish I were in your shape.'"
But, it wasn’t always this way. In 1989, Cheryl had a debilitating accident while filming "Back To The Future Part II." She was dropped 20 feet off of a cable onto concrete -- her face was crushed, her right arm and hand shattered. Even after five reconstructive surgeries, Cheryl worried she’d never be able to work in the industry again.
That’s when she met Dr. Lindsey Duncan, one of the world's leading naturopathic doctors who helped heal her back to health. Cheryl was his patient for several years before the two began dating and eventually married. “It was a blessing in disguise,” says Cheryl, whose own life, incidentally, plays out like a movie script.
