alpha zombie zeus
he escapes from a military convoy and
quickly gets busy creating his undead
army
they make their way to las vegas and
zeus even finds his own loyal zombie
queen
her time in the movie is brief but she
quickly won viewers hearts with her ear
piercing scream and fabulous regal
outfit
complete with spiked shoulders bejeweled
headpiece and kitten heels
understandably army of the dead left
viewers wanting to know more about the
zombie queen's origin story
and the woman behind her scarred gray
skin and red yellow eyes
so who is athena perample the actor who
brought the undead royal to life
for her role as the zombie queen

burned-out cars and master a creepy
zombie crawl

series one division where she doubled
for both katherine hahn and kat dennings
prample was leela george's stunt double
in the series animal kingdom and she
also performed stunt work for the 2019

wall swimming underwater and performing
back handsprings
she's trained in a number of different
fighting styles including taekwondo
jiu jitsu and kung fu she also has
competition level gymnastics training
and
is an accomplished dancer while her
performance in army of the dead didn't
require her to show off her complete
skill set
zack snyder was impressed with what she
could do telling insider

the zombie queen is amazing and all in

dated before his whirlwind romance with
miley cyrus made headlines
in the video prample was one of a trio
of women who danced in shallow water and
whipped their wet hair around to the
music
prample's dance skills and stunt
experience have helped her land roles in
a number of music videos

drink server who fantasized about
torturing the party guests she was

career when she was publicly fired from
the squad while the dancers were in
china
