Olivia Summers and Dee Bryant are building a team of all-women stunt drivers to make the stunt-driving industry more inclusive.

Four months after her father died in June 2019, Olivia Summers showed up to an introductory meeting at a production company in Santa Monica. While discussing her extensive work as a stunt driver on numerous car commercials, one of the producers remarked that he was not aware there were women in the stunt-driving industry. 'We just put a guy in a wig,' Summers recalled the producer saying.

The third child of five, she experienced her fair share of mishaps — flying off the back of her dad's snowmobile, slicing her hand open in a boating accident, repeatedly trying and failing to stand on water skis until her lips turned blue . Meanwhile, Bryant's father — a Harley guy who belonged to a motorcycle crew — gifted his daughter her first dirt bike at the age of 11. Bryant grew up piloting motorcycles on the sunbaked terrain of California's San Gabriel Valley.
