I found out today that Flo Hyman acted in an adventure movie before she died in 1986. Her character was "Spike," in The Order of the Black Eagle. You can buy it, if you want, at Amazon.com or Half.com. '''Because of her outstanding athletic ability she was able to quickly become proficient at knife throwing and karate,'' said one of the executive producers. ...Matthew Mallinson, who edited the movie, adds, ''She's not just standing there looking pretty. She's in one very dynamic sequence where she takes on six or seven people.''' Sports Illustrated, May 5, 1986 p. 12.
