A few days ago, it was reported that stunt woman Dayna Grant has suffered a life-threatening brain injury. TheOneRing.net incorrectly tweeted that she suffered the injury while on the set of Amazon Prime's upcoming Lord of the Rings series. The tweet has since been removed.
Grant was recently rushed to the hospital after experiencing symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury and after an MRI, it was revealed that she had an 8mm Aneurysm and upper spinal (neck) injuries that require immediate surgery.
Grant has worked on several other productions since working on the upcoming multi-million dollar Lord of the Rings series. She also offers a weekend stunt school. It is unclear which production she was working on when the aneurysm was discovered.
Dayna Grant stunt filmography includes many well known works in films & shows such as Mad Max: Fury Road, Ash vs. Evil Dead, Wonder Woman 1984, and Xena Warrior Princess. In Xena, she was the stunt double for series star Lucy Lawless. Grant was working as a stunt performer on the Lord of the Rings television show. The show will be part of Amazon's Prime Video service. The $1.6 trillion company is reportedly spending $465 million on Lord of the Rings Season 1 alone.
Grant's family and friends are looking to crowd-fund $NZ60,000 for the surgery which is equal to $60,000 USD. Her family has set up a donation platform on GiveALittle.co.nk.
