Hennessy was taught the use of a trampoline and other sport activities like riding a motorcycle by her father, Jeff Hennessy, the United States trampolining team coach between 1964 and 1980. She became a professional athlete and won her first world title at the age of 14 at the World Age-Group Championships. In 1974, she was a member of the first U.S. trampoline team to compete in the Soviet Union. In 1978, Hennessy was the first athlete to win all three trampoline events at a national championships and earned a place in the Guinness World Records for winning the most US national championships for women. Also in 1978, she was named the Southern AAU Athlete of the Year.

That same year at the World Championships, she set the world record score for women's double mini-tramp, which stood until 1992. The International Trampoline Federation honored her in 1982 for her lifetime achievements, and she is also a member of World Acrobatics Society Hall of Fame. [1]

Beside her career in sports, Hennessy taught special education at junior high school and worked for congressman Jimmy Hayes in Washington, DC before she moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

In August 2007, Hennessy was inducted into the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame. Her father was already a member, and they are the first father and daughter ever to be inducted. [2]

In 2008, Hennessy married Mark Robson and the following year the couple moved to New Orleans, where she started to teach trampoline classes and working as sports commentator for the Federation of International Gymnastics beside working as stunt coordinator, author, and photographer. [3] [4]

She trained stunts under Bob Ore and Bob Yerkes and made her first feature film stunt in 1995, when she doubled Téa Leoni's falls for stunt coordinator Ken Bates in the action comedy Bad Boys.

In 1997 she received recognition when she shaved her head and doubled falls, fights, and jumps for Demi Moore in Ridley Scott's action drama G.I. Jane.
