She Was Deaf, She Was A Daredevil, And She Was Named The Fastest Woman In The World After She Drove A Rocket Car Through The Desert At 512 Miles Per Hour

Kitty fell 127 feet from the 12-story tall Valley Hilton in Sherman Oaks, California. She broke her record one year later from a helicopter! Kitty was undoubtedly a star and even had her own action-figure Barbie doll made for her by Mattel in 1978.

That wasn’t the only record she broke. In 1976, Kitty was named the fastest woman in the world when she drove in the Oregon desert in a rocket car called the SMI Motivator. She drove at an average of 512 miles per hour. Don’t try it at home!

As thrilling and fascinating Kitty’s work in the stunt and racing world was, she eventually stopped, especially after seeing colleagues get brutally injured or die.

She retired in 1982 and eventually settled in Eureka, South Dakota, before passing away from pneumonia in 2018 at the age of 72.

Overall, she had set 22 land and water speed records throughout her career. Amazing, right? To this day, Kitty’s career inspires thrill-seekers everywhere.
