Amanda Foster (born 18 March 1967) is a British stunt actress. Foster was accepted to the UK stunt register in 1997 (latterly known as The British Stunt Register), and was the first black British woman to become a stunt double.[1]
Foster worked as a part-time physical education teacher while bringing up three children.[2][3] She performed as an actress and an extra in several stage and film productions. While working as an extra on Patriot Games, she found out that there were no black female stunt actresses in the UK.[1] She trained for six years and was accepted on the stunt register in six disciplines. She qualified in 1997.[4][5]
