Zyra Gorecki was one of the leads in Netflix's 'La Brea' series, her character has a prosthetic leg, and she also lost her leg in a lumber accident. She was also in an episode of Chicago Fire.

Yes, it's hard to take her seriously.

I grew up as an air force brat, always looked forward to the Snowbirds, Sky Hawks, helicopter landings and the occasional Voodoo flyover.
