Zoë E. Bell (born November 17, 1978 in Waiheke Island, New Zealand) is a stuntwoman, nicknamed "[[CatGirl Zoe the Cat]]" (and, as you can see from the picture, that's ''not just'' because she's really agile) who has recently gained some clout as an actress thanks to Creator/QuentinTarantino for casting her as herself in ''[[Film/{{Grindhouse}} Death Proof]]''. In her stunt career, she has doubled for such actresses as Creator/LucyLawless and Creator/UmaThurman. Also, she starred in the internet miniseries ''WebVideo/AngelOfDeath'', was stunt-coordinator (and had a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo) for the RussMeyer GenreThrowBack ''Film/BitchSlap'', and played a prominent ([[MsFanservice in more ways than one]]) role in Creator/DrewBarrymore's ''Film/WhipIt''. She was also one of the two major focuses of the excellent documentary ''Double Dare'' (in which she jokingly refers to Creator/LucyLawless as her "acting double".)

* DeletedRole: She originally had a bigger part in ''Film/DjangoUnchained'', and even gets a lingering closeup to indicate she's about to enter the plot in some way. But most of her role was cut down for time (there had been plans to split it into two parts like ''Film/KillBill'').
* NoStuntDouble: There was the possibility of her having a double for the car scenes in ''Film/DeathProof'', but she insisted on doing her own stunts as well. On the DVD features, she talked about the freedom this brought when it came to getting shots that didn't have to avoid showing her face.

** Her cameo in ''Film/OnceUponATimeInHollywood'' has her as Janet - the wife who disapproves of Cliff being on set and orders him off after he puts a massive dent in her car while fighting with Bruce Lee. It's radically different from her normal Action Girl roles in Tarantino films (fitting for a stunt woman) but also shows some pretty good comedy skills from her.
