Lillian Gish and Richard Barthelmess in Way Down East (1920). After trailing it in the freezing water for the ice floe scene, Gish's hand would be somewhat impaired for the remainder of her life.

The Flying Scotsman (1929) -- (This film was begun as a silent, with caption cards at the beginning of the film, then speech was added toward the end of the film.) Pauline Johnson and Dino Galvani walk along the exterior of the train, with no safety gear, at speed. Oh yeah -- and she did it in heels!

"The Hazards of Helen" serials and features -- Helen Holmes, and then Helen Gibson, starred in and performed a variety of daring stunts in the mid-19teens and early 20s.
