 CNN) -- Lucy Lawless, who plays the title
role in the hit TV show "Xena: Warrior Princess," says she raised to believe in herself and her power as a woman. "I grew up with plenty of female role models," Lawless tells USA Weekend. "I didn't realize there
was such a dearth of them in other people's lives. I didn't realize women couldn't do anything." As the fetching, breast-plate and miniskirt-wearing princess in "Xena," she says she realizes her show isn't
the most serious thing around, but it has found its niche. "Everybody loves their law shows and their sitcoms, but this is just a different genre they can fit into their viewing diet," says the 30-year-old New
Zealander. "It's dessert." |
