Kelly has been performing ever since her All American campaign at LSU. She has made a wonderful career for her in recent years as a dedicated stunt double for Jennifer Aniston (multiple movies & shows, Piper Pirabo (Yellowstone), Kristen Stewart (multiple project), & Kristen Wiig (MacGruber), & much more! She's a great representation of some of the best of LSU!

quote:

Garelick has now revealed that they were one of the first films to shoot a stunt on the tower.

‘We actually we did get to shoot at the Eiffel Tower. We had an incredible stunt team. Kelly Phelan was the first female to jump off of the Eiffel Tower, she’s now in the Guinness Book of World Records,’ he shared, speaking exclusively to Metro.co.uk.

Specifically Adam Sandler's stunt double in several films like the Water Boy. Got a role as Guard Papajohn in Sandler's remake of The Longest Yard because of it.

She has a few acting credits as well, she was always super nice back when I knew her at LSU. I'm happy for her and her career.

I miss Kelly! She’s a great person and supremely talented. She was also one of the first of the Happy’s girls downtown.

The first time stunt performer Kelly Phelan saw the Eiffel Tower, she was hanging from the top of it. As Jennifer Aniston’s stunt double in Murder Mystery 2, Phelan pulls off a sequence for the history books, ascending and descending from 1,000 feet in the air down the side of the Paris landmark.
