No really.

Have you ever watched her fight scene in The Agency?

No? Here's your chance to see a "little" woman thrash a big burly bloke:

She literally thrashed her own husband!

Let's not forget the headscissor scene from "November Conspiracy" a.k.a "The Feminine Touch". Mind you, she was tied up in the bath and yet she managed to kill the thug, breaking his neck with her legs and tied up hands. She also kicks another thug really hard near the end of the movie.

I wonder, is she a martial arts fighter? In her Biography says she practiced Ballet, which probably gave her the stamina and flexibility on her moves. But man... that scene from The Agency is far from being just another Hollywood trick. It looks like she is indeed a ballbuster!

Well, yes and no, first of all Jason wasn't her husband at that time when this scene was filmed for The Agency (summer 2002, they married in September 2003). And second, Paige does study martial arts and has the flexibility and athletic ability you mentioned. However she uses marital arts as a form of exercise and the artistic freedom and movement in dance. Heres a quote from her from Fitness magazine December 2002.
Mastering martial arts. They have the same freedom or movement as dancing. And I like that martial arts combine mind, body and spirit by improving your focus and awareness. Paige Turco
P.S.: The scene where she scissors jumps and pins Stiles to the floor was done by her stunt double Jeri Habberstad. Sorry to disappoint.
As far as the movie "The November Conspiracy". I can't comment because I haven't seen it.

And also don't forget that Paige forgot to duck and Jason hit her in the eye and she had to get stitches.

She is not a woman too be messed with she must be a nice person in real life.

And at one point, on one TV series, in one episode, as far as I am aware, she also played a guilty female criminal who was guilty of, Oh my God, and understandably of course, as an audience, we were meant to cheer for her character to be punished and sentenced by police. Did that in itself shock anyone by the way, including in 2001?

(I still shiver...)

[–] TheMan18 (13183) 4 years ago

Actually, minor spoilers, she was guilty of TWO CRIMES in that series, and one episode of it, one against a male and one against a female, but I wouldn't spoil it too much and you can or you probably have already seen it and know it anyway. Suffice to say, the "murder" part (and it DOES have murder in it too) is actually its least controversial aspect, and also, no, minor spoiler, the guy doesn't kill that one other lady out of vengeance.

But anyway...

On a side note, and not necessarily because of the above information, I kind of became highly hooked on the following word - "Shudder", lol. (!!! :) :) :) ) After "intellectual pygmy" (hahaha, see "The Soviet Story" (2008) one message board argument that unexpectedly made me laugh), my new favorite word/catchphrase, lol.

And no offense to Paige Turco as a person for all of this, haha. :)
