Biography
American daredevil, a modern-day gladiator who does daring motorcycle
stunts that have almost killed him many times. A movie of his life was
made in 1972. In 1977, he made an attempt to jump his motorcycle over a
tank full of sharks, which were tranquilized and harmless as a precaution.
A school drop-out and hell-raiser, Knievel was spoiling for trouble
from the time he was 19. With a history of aggression that occasionally
went out of control, he once served a six month jail term for beating his
former press agent with a baseball bat. In 1986, Knievel was arrested for
soliciting a female cop posing as a hooker. In late 1994, police were
called to break up a fight in a hotel room, where he was arrested for
allegedly beating his girlfriend.
Knievel was married and had three children, but later divorced. His son
Robbie, who followed in his dad's footsteps as a sports daredevil, was
born on 5/07/1960. From 1991, Evel lived with a 22-year-old girlfriend,
pro-golfer Krystal Kennedy, and drove a $150,000 Aston Martin sports car.
In January 1999 he was in Tampa, Florida awaiting a liver transplant due
to the effects of hepatitis C. He believes that he contacted the disease
during one of the 14 operations to repair the 35 broken bones and other
injuries caused by his stunts.
He had a liver transplant on 1/27/1999. By mid-April he was once more
doing battle with hepatitis C. He contacted the virus years ago from one
of the many blood transfusions during surgeries.

What Do You Think?
Evel Knievel has broken 35 bones during his career as a professional
daredevil. The only aspect to his Saturn is a trine to Moon. So where do
all those broken bones come from? Where does his hell raiser, daredevil
disposition come from? And how did this hell raiser learn to capitalize on
his tendencies when others usually end up under 12th house conditions?
