USC film grad and actress Stephani Victor is living her own gold medal, if improbable script. Loading her car in 1995, she was pinned against her vehicle when an out-of-control car veered into her driveway. In order to save her life, both of her legs were amputated. Stephani’s will to live was astonishing and she was determined to overcome this unthinkable, catastrophic experience. Three years and 12 reconstructive surgeries later, she took her first adaptive skiing lesson. Since then she has won 5 Paralympic medals, 4 World Champion titles and 5 Overall World Cup titles.
At a young age, Victor started skiing in Pennsylvania with her family. However, it was not until 1999, while promoting a role in a movie during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, she took her first adaptive ski lesson. The athlete in her told Victor she could medal at the 2002 Paralympics (she did); the filmmaker in her said Paralympic Gold would be a perfect ending for her movie.
