About Georgia Durante
Georgia Durante became the most photographed woman in the world as the Kodak Summer Girl. Her career took her to New York City where the world of modeling and the world of The Mob both opened their doors for her. One violent night gave Georgia the chance to show her value to The Mob from behind the wheel of a car.
Life behind the door of Georgia's home was anything but glamorous. Her days and nights became filled with fear and physical abuse from her husband. Finally the day for a decision arrived and Georgia made hers.
Today Georgia is the owner of her own leading Hollywood stunt driving company. She also travels the country to talk about domestic violence.
Her book, "The Company She Keeps," is the gripping tale of one woman's struggle to escape from the Mafia underworld. Now a successful stunt driver, Durante can dominate a two-ton vehicle at high speeds, but off road, she has careened from one emotional head-on collision to another.
