In 1976, Kitty and the Motivator broke the land speed record, racing at over 600 miles per hour! Kitty was a hero to fans everywhere, and proved that she was truly unstoppable.
She chose the aptly named Motivator and trained like a true champion.
She became a racecar driver and sought to do what no woman had done before.
Eventually, Kitty took a job as a stuntwoman, doing the most dangerous job on set and even filming stunts for films like Wonder Woman! Still, Kitty wanted more thrills.
Kitty jumped, ran, raced, and swam, all while learning to read lips and communicating through sign language.
She became deaf as a child, and grew up loving sports and action.
