Lucy Magazine Archive

Aunty Kate News/Tarzan

The following is from Sharon Delaney/OXFC

Just an FYI for those not aware of it, but Lucy's scenes in these past episodes had already been filmed with another actress.  They simply reshot them.  The character, so far, has not been written for Lucy.  We've yet to see anything that was written specifically for her nor for the direction they wanted the character to take after bringing her on board.
 

Added small blurb about how fantastic Lucy is (naturally) as Aunty Kate. The following mini review comes from Zap2It's TV Gal

I simply have to give Lucy Lawless the best makeover award. She's almost unrecognizable as Tarzan's aunt Kathleen Clayton on "Tarzan" (Sunday, WB, 9 p.m.). She's definitely taking the show in the right direction, but overall the series about the shoeless boy wonder superhero still isn't working for me. Is it working for you?
 

And yet another review/site that is surprised about Lucy's transformation. The following is the blurb for a review of Tarzan from the Slate/MSN site

The show mercifully avoids irritating questions of identity and instead uses the Tarzan family history—the book's unclaimed earldom has been replaced with $6 billion worth of stock in Greystoke Industries—as the set-up for a bitter power struggle between Tarzan's villainous uncle Richard Clayton (Mitch Pileggi, né Agent Skinner) and his tough but loving aunt Kathleen (an almost unrecognizable Lucy Lawless).

Lucy Images

Added an old pic of Lucy which is one of my favourites. It's been around for a while but I hadn't seen a larger version until I came across an old magazine article. I've scanned the image and it's now available in the Image Archive.

Xena Movie News

The following is from USA Weekend - Many thanks to Poopyhead for the news

"Xena: Warrior Princess" was one of my favorite TV shows. Is it true there will be a "Xena" movie? Deerdra Reese, Ruidoso, N.M.

Universal has one in development, but it probably will be years before we see it. Still, you can get your "Xena" fix with new boxed DVD sets of the first and second seasons; companion shows "Highlander" and "Hercules" are out, too. Because all three have long been reader favorites, we checked in on the stars:

Lucy Lawless, 35, is Tarzan's aunt in the WB's new Sunday drama. "'Xena' was the greatest gig I ever had," she says, "but [Tarzan] is also pretty excellent." She is awed by "Xena"'s staying power: "I'm a lot smaller than I was, and my hair is fairer. Now people say, 'Are you really Xena?' "
Kevin Sorbo, 45, the "Hercules" star, is in his fourth season on the syndicated space adventure "Andromeda". He and his actress wife, Sam Jenkins, have a furniture line in stores. They own houses in Henderson, Nev., and in Canada, where they live while he's working. They also have a son, Braeden, 2. "He's definitely a daddy's boy," Sorbo says. "He's a little jock."

Xenaverse News

While I was at Bardfest I had a good opportunity to meet quite a few people. One of those made a huge impression on me because she made me laugh so much, it hurt. Her name is Birda and I promised I would post the BEST poem ever written <vbg> - Well it had me laughing so here it is:

OK< here goes......

X is for Xena
E is for Ena
N if for Na
A is for A

maybe it would be easier to get the flow if it were presented as:

X is for Xena
E is for Eeenuh
N is for Nuh
A is for Uh

You just had to be there to appreciate this awesome poem! <g> or maybe it was the way it was recited. Onya Birda - you owe me a diet coke next time we meet up.


Here's something interesting - this comes from Mel

Remains Of Xena-Like Woman Found

Oct. 1, 2003 — The remains of a six-foot tall woman, buried with a shield and knife, were recently discovered in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Lincolnshire, England.

The body and artifacts, which date to A.D. 500-600, suggest that more women than previously believed may have fought alongside men during the turbulent years following England's Roman period. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20030929/xenawoman.html

Lucy News

  • I just ran across this rather strange Lucy mention

    Here's the part about Lucy.

    The name St Lucy was conceived after an unfortunate run-in with actor Lucy Lawless. "I was at one of her sister's shows in Auckland and Lucy bumped into me and I wore an entire glass of wine on my white T-shirt. The name works, because I wanted one that would transfer from a solo act to a band. But sometimes it's hard to see where St Lucy ends and Mark Tupuhi begins. Maybe I'll get someone in the band to pretend they're Lucy."

News Update

The following is from Jane:

Further to your update about the Toronto airing schedule, I want to add that over on the west coast, Vancouver BC, also does not get Tarzan on Global either starting next week.  In addition to the contact email you put on, I found another email that's specific for British Columbia:
globalbc.showinfo@globaltv.ca  I recommend sending inquiries to both email addresses.

If Global really doesn't air Tarzan again, I recommend just subscribing to the WB stations for a very low price (for BC, it's $1/month with Shaw Digital) if the necessary hardware is present.  Not sure about satellite tv or Rogers.

And fellow TV heroin, Lucy "Xena" Lawless swings back into her continuing new role on WB’s "Tarzan," also on Sunday night. Lawless plays "Tarzan's" aunt, who goes toe-to-toe with the apeman's uncle, Mitch Pileggi, and tells "Extra" that she doesn't know how long she'll be with the series. She says, "My character is going to be written out eventually."


But Pileggi doesn't want to see this warrior princess go anywhere. He says, "I’m really, really happy she came on this show to play this role."

    While I was at Bardfest I had a good opportunity to meet quite a few people. One of those made a huge impression on me because she made me laugh so much, it hurt. Her name is Birda and I promised I would post the BEST poem ever written laughing - Well it had me laughing so here it is:

    OK< here goes......

    X is for Xena
    E is for Ena
    N if for Na
    A is for A

    maybe it would be easier to get the flow if it were presented as:

    X is for Xena
    E is for Eeenuh
    N is for Nuh
    A is for Uh

    You just had to be there to appreciate this awesome poem! or maybe it was the way it was recited. Onya Birda - you owe me a diet coke next time we meet up.


    Here's something interesting - this comes from Mel

    Remains Of Xena-Like Woman Found

    Oct. 1, 2003 — The remains of a six-foot tall woman, buried with a shield and knife, were recently discovered in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Lincolnshire, England.

    The body and artifacts, which date to A.D. 500-600, suggest that more women than previously believed may have fought alongside men during the turbulent years following England's Roman period. http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20030929/xenawoman.html

    Further to your update about the Toronto airing schedule, I want to add that over on the west coast, Vancouver BC, also does not get Tarzan on Global either starting next week.  In addition to the contact email you put on, I found another email that's specific for British Columbia:
    globalbc.showinfo@globaltv.ca  I recommend sending inquiries to both email addresses.

    If Global really doesn't air Tarzan again, I recommend just subscribing to the WB stations for a very low price (for BC, it's $1/month with Shaw Digital) if the necessary hardware is present.  Not sure about satellite tv or Rogers.

    Hey folks, I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk
    Before I get into my latest visit I want to take the time to thank Mesh for the OUTSTANDING job she has done. You've all seen that tv show called Changing Rooms? Well that's how it felt like when Mesh suggested the change to the what's new page and other sections of the site :) My first thought was..is this woman mad? Does she want to undertake this huge task AND do the updates? She must be insane Mesh is a talented web designer so when she offered, I was thrilled. As many of you can see she has done a super super fantastic job and kept you all up to date with everything Xena, Lucy & Renee related. I'm very pleased to come home and find my 'room' had been redecorated and made all nice and pretty :) It has given ausxip, TLF and TRF a fresh look which I'm rather fond of.

    Thank you Mesh for all your hard work and friendship.

    Entertainment Weekly US, issue is #734 (October 24, 2003)
    She's best known for playing a ball-busting warrior who- if you believed the scuttlebutt-engaged in hot girl-on-girl action when she wasn't busy laying the smack down with a flick from her chakram. You really don't want to get on her bad side which is why it is so... odd to hear Lawless describe a peaceful life since Xena: Warrior Princess ended it's six-year run in 2001.

    "I've been doing mom stuff like growing a baby!" says the 35-year-old New Zealand native, who gave birth to a third child, son Jude, last year. "Getting healthy! Catching up with friends! Visiting my husband's family in Michigan!" But everyone knows that you can't keep a good mercenary down- and that's why Lawless, who admits to "some nervous moments when I thought I would never work again," agreed to channel those maternal instincts for her role as a newspaper magnate Kathleen Clayton on the WB's Tarzan.

    She plays auntie to hunk Travis Fimmel's ape-man. "It's stylish and gnarly, and targeted to a demo that's not so bad for career longevity," she says, clearly aware of TV's econimic realities. "I hate to be calculating, but I want to broaden my audience." And to think she didn't accept the producer's orginal offer.Unintrested in signing a multiyear contract, Lawless declined the role only to return-at the producer's behest- after they nixed American actress Jenna Stern in late August. (The situation strangely parallells her Xena breakout).

    She agreed to sign on for the first season of Tarzan and struck a development deal with the WB that could lead to her own show next year. Though not engaging in the sort of butt kicking for which Xena was famed, Lawless admits she's trying to spice up her story.

    From LD: Once again they were up against a big US sporting event, Sunday night NFL football.  I am sure they have become aware that they need the drawing power Lucy brings to the table.

    Look at the viewers.  Age 18 to 49 and mostly women.  That's Lucy's kettle of fish.  It's still too early to say if the show will take off.  They received a B- grade as a new show and that's not all that bad.  I would like to see the show format restructured more like "Dallas".  That would be fun ... but then again, it's not my show.  I also don't like the time slot but again ... it's not my show.

    Review: Warrior Women - Joan of Arc - with Lucy Lawless
    Review by Grace Halden

    Having already watched a lot of documentaries on Joan of Arc and
    studying her at school I felt there was very little left to be said, so I was
    going to watch 'Warrior Women' solely to see the loveliness of Lucy Lawless.

    However the documentary offered so much more detail, things I didn’t
    know were explained for instance the 'Virginity tests' to prove her visions
    were from god and not the devil, and other such details I knew nothing
    about.

    Lucy, without a doubt was exceptional, who better to tell the story of
    'Warrior Women' than the woman who played the best fictional Warrior
    Woman of all time. And also a warrior in her own sense... a working mother of three!

    Lucy looked so relaxed and beautiful, wearing a stunning green jumper
    (sweater), her hair dark blonde; looking radiant. She didn’t just deliver a
    voice over, she demonstrated weapons and also rode a horse, I found the
    documentary to be amazing, and so I watched it again on 'plus one'. I
    can’t wait for the rest of the series, Lucy was truly magnificent, and the
    documentary itself was truly unique and very informative. Yay Lucy!

    The great thing is that the documentary was delivered in such a factual
    but fun way, my brother only 13 watched it and enjoyed it, and hopefully
    many of Lucy’s fans will watch just to see her but find themselves learning
    something amazing about 5 incredible women.

    Lucy Lawless Meets Tarzan!
    Actress Lucy Lawless concluded her six-year saga as Xena: Warrior
    Princess in 2001. Where is she now? TV Guide Online rang up her celly to ask!

    "At this moment," she says, "I'm having my hair done in Beverly Hills for
    the show." She means the WB's Tarzan (Sundays, 9 pm/ET), where she plays Travis Fimmel's newspaper mogul aunt, Kathleen Clayton. Is this rich lady role easier than living in Xena's tough skin?

    "It's very lovely," Lawless coos. "I'm luxuriating in comfort. Nobody's
    telling me to 'Lie down in that pool of blood.' I could not be happier."

    Still, the 35-year-old mom of three isn't committed to Tarzan beyond
    this season. That's because she's signed a development deal with the WB to
    find her own series to star in. Another action show? "No!" she scoffs.

    "Possibly a combination of comedy and drama. I've turned down a slew of action television ideas. I've kinda done that. I will always be grateful for
    the chance to play Xena, but how am I going to find a better action role
    than that?"

    Speaking of her old show, Lawless and Kevin Sorbo are currently suing
    Universal Studios — the company behind Xena and Hercules: The Legendary
    Journeys — for breach-of-contract. As previously reported, the stars
    claim they've been denied their fair share of the popular action series'
    profits. "What we're talking about is our percentage of the merchandising,"
    she says. "It's just anything that came out of the Xena franchise. I
    guess we haven't yet participated in any of the profits, if there are any
    profits to be had. So that's what we're looking into. We're just having a
    proper look at the books."

    Renee at Austin Film Festival & Renee Movie news
    In an article by Emily Hummel for KVUE.com, Emily writes,

    "Actress Renee O'Connor of Xena Warrior Princess fame has stepped
    behind the scenes and into the world of digital filmmaking. The Texas native
    produced and stars in Diamonds and Guns, which takes full advantage of
    the new technology. O'Connor says the lower production cost speeds up
    the whole process. 'It allows a producer to tell a story without
    waiting for people in Hollywood to finance it,' O'Connor explained Friday at
    a barbecue at the Governor's Mansion. She is currently in
    pre-production on another digital film, Margaritaville."

    We asked Renee about Margaritaville (which is the further adventures of
    Diamonds and Guns' Ashley and Bria in New Mexico) and she wrote back,
    "It is in development, with a goal to begin filming late 2003 or early
    2004, but the producers behind Diamonds and Guns, and myself, are
    currently in pre-production on another film with more details to come...

    A message from Cavalier Press
    Cavalier Press extends its sincere apologies to Blayne Cooper and T Novan for problems related to the printing of Last Train Home and First Lady.  Due to Hurricane Isabel and the subsequent loss of power for five days, we were rushed to production to have product available for DC BardFest.  As a result, quality suffered and we were unable to check the final quality of the product from the printer.  There were multiple errors in printing and formatting that must be corrected.  As a result, Cavalier Press is withdrawing the current editions of First Lady and Last Train Home and will be reissuing them shortly with the errors corrected.

    Anyone who purchased a copy of either of these books will be entitled to a replacement copy, at no charge, upon return of the book to Cavalier Press.  We will also absorb the cost of shipping the replacement.  Please include your name and mailing address with the book.

    Warrior Queen articles mention the Warrior Princess
    Alex Kingston (“ER”) portrays Boudica, Britain's “Warrior Queen,”
    whacking her way through Roman legions with Xena-like zeal in this brooding, fact-based drama. It's set in the 1st century, with Britain living
    uneasily in a “client king” relationship with Rome. But that changes when
    Agrippina (Frances Barber) poisons Claudius (Jack Shepherd) and Nero (Andrew Lee Potts) becomes emperor. He'll brook nothing less than total
    subjugation, and battle lines are drawn. Screenwriter Andrew Davies, a “Masterpiece Theatre” veteran, also penned the adaptation of “Moll Flanders” featuring Kingston that aired on PBS in 1996.
    Cast: Alex Kingston, Steven Waddington, Emily Blunt, Leanne Rowe, Ben
    Faulks, Hugo Speer, Gary Lewis, James Clyde, Steve John Shepherd, Jack
    Shepherd, Gideon Turner, Frances Barber, Andrew Lee Potts, Emil
    Hostina,Claudio Bleont, Michael Feast, Kara Tointon

    Lucy, the reluctant warrior  
    A kickboxing former Mrs New Zealand who cleans her teeth with baking soda, Lucy Lawless was the star of the cult television series 'Xena: Warrior Princess'. Now, she tells Sabine Durrant, she's presenting a programme about real heroines.

    (...) I ask her if she feels she can ever leave Xena behind. She emits a trill rather than a laugh. Warrior Women aside, she has cameo roles in a couple of films, one by Dreamworks, coming up. "But people always want me to play the female Frank N. Furter part, you know from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Because I have all that camp, bad girl stuff. People think I'm sort of a weird social deviant, and I'm so tedious in real life." She leans forward to straighten the cushion on the chair next to her, and laughs nervously again. "See?"

    What is this? "Babe-heart"? A "Xena" for history professors? " Conan the Estrogenarian?" All of the above, actually. As "Masterpiece Theatre" host Russell Baker explains in his introduction to "Warrior Queen," Boudica, also known as Boadicea, was the female leader of Britain's Iceni tribe who led a revolt against her country's Roman occupiers in the first century A.D. and did some serious damage. There's a statue to her memory in London, in the shadow of Big Ben, but where historical fact about her ends and legend begins is a hard pinpoint. Read More ...

    Xena Takes On A New Battleground
    Former Xena star, Lucy Lawless, is taking her fighting attitude to a new
    battle ground - court. Lawless, along with Hercules star Kevin Sorbo, is
    suing Universal City Studios over profits from the now defunct
    television series. The role of Xena made Lawless a cult icon, especially
    in the gay & lesbian community, but though Lawless was catupulted to
    stardom - she didn't see all that much profit out of it.

    Lawless & Sorbo claim that Universal Studios cheated them out of their
    shares of profit from Xena and Hercules. Xena: Warrior Princess ran for
    six seasons and was broadcast worldwide in more than 100 countries.
    In the lawsuit, the stars claim that Universal altered the books for
    both shows to make them appear unprofitable. This, according to the
    suit, allowed the studio to take more of the profits for themselves -
    and cut the stars out from the profits they should have been earning.

    Lawless claims that Universal Studios owes her five percent of adjusted
    gross receipts from each episode, while Sorbo is claiming eight per
    cent. Both stars have taken their suit to Los Angeles court, though
    legal costs for Lawless to pursue a lawsuit in the U.S. (she's a New
    Zealand resident) are reportedly 'outrageous.' Both stars are asking for
    a review of the accounts for the two television shows in addition to
    unspecified damages. Source: GayWired

    Uma Thurman stars as an assassin with a thirst for revenge in "Kill Bill, Vol. I," entering theaters today. Here are a few other he-girls who've kicked butt first, asked questions later.

    Linda Carter - The original Wonder Woman with take charge attitude.
    Michelle Pfeiffer - No matter what Halle Berry does with the role, Pfeiffer will always be the Catwoman we'd love to de-claw.

    Halle Berry - What's better than James Bond? Berry's female agent Jinx in 2002's "Die Another Day."

    Lucy Lawless - No, not for her starring role on "Xena: Warrior Princess" (though there's nothing wrong with that). Better still was her barnstorming tour through Spring-field on "The Simp-sons." Source

    Karl Urban (Caesar) playing nemesis in next 'Bourne' movie
    LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban is moving from Middle Earth to the middle of a spy game. Urban, best known as Eomer in "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers," is in negotiations to play Matt Damon's nemesis in "The Bourne Supremacy," sources have confirmed.

    The sequel to Universal Pictures' hit 2002 film "The Bourne Identity" is expected to begin filming at year's end.

    British director Paul Greengrass ("Bloody Sunday") is shooting the sequel, which is inspired by Robert Ludlum's second novel in the "Bourne" series. The books for both films were adapted by Tony Gilroy; Doug Liman directed the original.

    Urban next stars in "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" and the "Pitch Black" sequel, "The Chronicles of Riddick."

    A contemporary Tarzan swings to the big city
    The WB, continuing its recent trend of updating classic genre characters for new series (Smallville), will monkey around with Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan stories in a new dramatic series this fall. Tarzan, starring former Australian Calvin Klein underwear model Travis Fimmel as the titular ape-man, will be set, not in the rain forests of 19th-century Africa, but in the present-day urban jungle of New York City.

    Fimmel plays John Clayton Jr., who has been captured in the wilds and taken against his will to New York by his powerful billionaire uncle Richard Clayton (former X-Files star Mitch Pileggi) for reasons as yet unclear. Richard's rival for John's affections is his nefarious newspaper publisher sister, Kathleen (former Xena: Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless). smile

    In one escape attempt, young John encounters strong-willed NYPD detective Jane Porter (Sarah Wayne Callies) and her by-the-book partner, Sam Sullivan (Miguel A. Nunez Jr.). Jane instantly senses a connection with John and risks her well-ordered life to uncover his secret.

    Tarzan swings onto The WB's fall schedule on Oct. 5 and will air Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The cast took a moment recently to speak with Science Fiction Weekly about the show.

    They said the focus of the show is changing to be more about your character? [The show was originally called Tarzan and Jane.]

    Fimmel: No, it's not focusing on me more. They dropped the name because everybody's going to say Tarzan anyway. But no, there's so many other stories: cop stories, stories about my uncle, my auntie , Jane and her partner. It's certainly not all about Tarzan.

    When Grainne ruled waves as Irish warrior pirate
    AN ancient warrior has been uncovered as Ireland's first feminist in a major new documentary to be screened across the world.

    Fearless Grainne Mhaol (Grace O'Malley) gambled, divorced, had a string of lovers and led a brutal army of male pirates - despite living in the 16th century.

    A major Discovery Channel documentary about her claims she was written out of factual history by religious male historians who believed she set a dangerous example as a woman who went too far.

    The hour-long study on the legendary Grainne Mhaol lifts the lid on the fearless feminist who became the first woman chieftain in Ireland and exposes how she forced society to accept equal rights.

    Presented by Xena Warrior Princess star Lucy Lawless the documentary is to be screened this month on Discover.

    A documentary team spent weeks investigating whether she was myth or legend.

    Legend tells of a fearsome, beautiful pirate queen who commanded a loyal force of men and gave the English navy a run for its money.

    And say the documentary makers, Grainne Mhaol, born around 1530, was a
    real life warrior for women's rights.

    In today's (5 Oct) Edmonton Journal there is a reprinted article
    panning Tarzan by Ed Bark - The Dallas Morning News which takes up about half of the page and has a picture of Tarzan and Jane. The article was not too compilmentary about the show and more or less indicated that is really
    wasn't something you wanted to waste your time watching. All
    inidcations cited in the article didn't leave much hope of the series surviving for more than a season. The saving grace to the article was the very last line - Future episodes will include Lucy Lawless, which might help.

    The Houston Chronilog, the local TVGuide of the Chronicle has Tarzan and Jane on its cover. The article on the inside mentions that "Reportedly the 2n. episode will feature Lucy Lawless - Xena: Warrior Princess.

    TV Review: Tarzan
    Fimmel has the requisite athleticism for the part, scaling fire escapes and smashing through windows with deceptive ease. His dialogue rarely exceeds four-word sentences, but then, he wasn't tabbed for this role because of his way with Shakespeare. He handles longing stares just fine.

    Lucy Lawless (news) is to join the series as Kathleen, Tarzan's aunt and a newspaper publisher.

    PLENTY of Kiwi stunt grunt New Zealand Herald, NZ
    Uma Thurman may look fetching but fierce in the Bruce Lee-tribute yellow tracksuit as she carves up a room of enemies.

    But it's a New Zealander doing the hard work - Kiwi stuntwoman Zoe Bell was Thurman's stunt double in the film ,which involves many high-flying fight scenes. Bell travelled to Beijing for the movie shoot to work under the Chinese fight-masters, whose credits include The Matrix trilogy and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

    Previously Lucy Lawless's stunt double in the Xena series with a background in martial arts and gymnastics, Bell suffered for Tarantino's art. Missing a safety mat on a stunt involving a hydraulic boost caused her a dislocated wrist and torn ligaments, meaning her Kill Bill involvement was cut short as she recovered.

    Jungle 'Princess'
    Lucy Lawless on swinging from ''Xena'' to ''Tarzan.'' The former
    ''Warrior Princess'' star says she's happy to put down her sword to watch
    over Travis Fimmel on the WB's new series by Liane Bonin

    The second-season DVD of ''Xena: Warrior Princess'' hit stores in
    September, but Lucy Lawless isn't strapping on her leather breastplate for a
    reunion of the syndicated series. Instead the New Zealand-based actress
    has signed on to a different action series, the WB's ''Tarzan'' (premieres Sunday, Oct. 5 at 9 p.m.) -- but as the Lord of the Apes' refined aunt Kathleen, introduced in episode 2, she's leaving the grunt work to star Travis Fimmel. EW.com talked to Lawless, 35, about why she's happy
    to pass the sword (for now), her plans for a new TV series, and all
    those reunion rumors.

    Now that you're on ''Tarzan,'' tell us: Could Xena whip Monkeyboy's
    butt or what? Read More ...
