Lucy Lawless

For me Lucy Lawless will always be Xena. A New Zealander from Mount Albert with that fiery Aries conviction, she anchored a 1990s series in which a woman swung a sword and saved the world, and that was genuinely radical for its time; she taught a generation that strength on a woman is something to admire. What seals my respect is the range. As Lucretia in Spartacus she flipped into a sumptuous, scheming villain, proving she was never just an action star, and she sings and works the stage too, capped by a 2004 Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. I am drawn to performers who refuse a single mold, and she is the prototype.
