However, her big break came in 2003, when she doubled for Uma Thurman in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol 1.
This led Tarantino to bring her back for Kill Bill Vol 2 and later, Grindhouse and Deathproof, for which Tarantino specifically wrote Bell a starring role, playing herself.
Since then, she's gone on to perform in films like Inglorious Bastards, The Final Destination, Iron Man 3 and Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok.
The 39-year-old has also racked up an impressive list of acting credits, appearing in hit series Lost, as well as roller derby flick Whip It, the all-female horror/action Raze, action flick Camino and Tarantino blockbusters Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.
Today, Bell is one of the most sought-after stunt women in the world, with a reputation for putting her body on the line to perform the most audacious of stunts. She is also a qualified stunt co-ordinator, making her one of the few women in Hollywood dominating what has historically been a male role. Her latest project sees her co-ordinating the stunt work in Tarantino latest film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, starring Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Pacino, due for release next August.
