We love Lucy
You're probably dying for information about Xena (Lucy Lawless), the mythical warrior. Lucy started her career with Hercules, a demigod tough guy from the same age. She was so popular with the audience that the makers of Hercules decided on giving Lucy her own show. Lucy comes from New Zealand, where the show is also being shot. For the show she trained in kungfu and swordplay. Before she became the tough Xena she had ash blond hair; for the show her hair was dyed black and she got some hair extensions. Lucy about Xena: "A pre-Mycean kick-ass gal that traverses the time lines." In the States Xena is 'hot', they even made an actiondoll of her.
