The infamous "pigtail hammer throw" scene from the 1996 movie Matilda, where Miss Trunchbull swings Amanda Thripp by her braids, was a blend of movie magic and physical stunt work. The young actress, Jacqueline Steiger, wore a full-body harness attached to a large crane, with the wires threaded through special prosthetic pigtails. The director, Danny DeVito, confirmed she loved being in the harness, and the precise, careful filming brought the incredible feat to life without CGI. | History In Pi
