Bertha "Betty" Danko (September 19, 1903 – February 3, 1979) was an American stuntwoman and stunt double. She doubled for many leading actresses of the 1930s and 1940s, but is best known for having doubled for Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch of the West in the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. During the filming of the skywriting scene, a pipe attached to the Witch's broomstick exploded, landing Danko in the hospital with a serious leg wound. Her career was cut short by a non-stunt accident in the late 1950s when she was struck by a car while waiting for a bus. She resided in a Hollywood bungalow for 50 years with her widowed mother.

  • Bertha Danko dite Betty Danko (19 septembre 1903-3 février 1979), est une cascadeuse américaine. Elle a doublé de nombreuses actrices de premier plan, dans les années 1930 et 1940, mais elle est surtout connue pour avoir doublé Margaret Hamilton, dans le rôle de la méchante sorcière de l'Ouest, dans le film Le Magicien d'Oz, en 1939. Pendant le tournage de la scène d'écriture, dans le ciel, un tuyau attaché au manche à balai de la sorcière explose, envoyant Betty Danko à l'hôpital, avec une grave blessure à la jambe. Sa carrière est interrompue par un accident, non professionnel, à la fin des années 1950, lorsqu'elle est heurtée par une voiture, alors qu'elle attend un bus. Elle a résidé dans un bungalow d'Hollywood, pendant 50 ans, avec sa mère. (fr)
