The original injuries did not take place at the studio where Miss Stanwyck now is employed. The first injury to Misa Stanwyck was the result of a double accident. She was struck on the head by a falling object and was accidentally dropped while being carried to a first-aid station.
The second injury oc- curred a year later when she was thrown from a horse during the filming of an outdoor scene.
Since that time, it is said, the actress has never been entirely! free from pain.--Reuter.
