Aimee Mullins(I)
- Actress
- Director
- Writer
Growing up between Pennsylvania and County Clare, Ireland, Aimee found
her love of performance at an early age, and has defied conventional
description ever since. Aimee first brought international attention as
an athlete. Being the first person in history to compete in the NCAA as
an amputee, she sprinted as part of Georgetown University's nationally
ranked team against other top Division I track athletes, making her
woven carbon-fibre legs world-famous. She is a gold medalist Paralympic
athlete and set several World Records (100-meter dash and long jump). A
dean's list student on scholarship from the Defense Department, she
graduated in 1998 from Georgetown's School of Foreign Service with a
double major in History and Diplomacy. Aimee dived into modeling for
Alexander McQueen's 1999 London show. Her film debut was as the star of
the cult fave, Cremaster 3 (2002), by art world star Matthew Barney.
