MUMBAI: Jewell Jordan Mason, the stunt double for Luise Rainer in Oscar-winning 1937 film The Good Earth and also for Merle Oberon in Wuthering Heights in 1939, died on 24 September in California at the age of 92.

Jordan worked as an un-credited extra, double and stunt double in Hollywood in the 1930s and ‘40s, appearing in films like Tarzan Escapes (1936), Ever Since Eve (1937), Ninotchka (1939), Destry Rides Again (1939) and New Moon (1940).

She appeared onscreen along with greats like Clark Gable, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Paul Muni, David Niven, Bing Crosby, Maureen O‘Sullivan and Johnny Weissmuller.

Jordan‘s career will be featured in Mollie Gregory‘s book about stuntwomen to be published next year by University of California Press.
