Actress in a Wheelchair, Not a Wheelchair Actress

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Actress in a Wheelchair, Not a Wheelchair Actress

Tiffany Giddes has been in a wheelchair for eight years, but she's been anything but sedentary. Now she's on her way to Hollywood to become an actress in a wheelchair.

That's different than a "wheelchair actress".

Giddes explains, "I got tired of seeing people who weren't disabled play people in a wheelchair," she says. "Why not have an actress in a wheelchair who doesn't stand up and go home at the end of the day?

"I think they need someone like me, who really lives the role."
