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.

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."

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.

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."

Ratings for Warrior Women
From Sharon: Just heard from the Warrior Women producers and the show doubled it's audience from what previously aired in that time slot!Go Lucy!!
Updated: 18 Oct 2003
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.

The next governor of California: Lucy LawlessUpdated: 18 Oct 2003
E! Entertainment News Channel had a poll earlier this week that included Lucy Lawless. The question was that if there had to be
another recall vote in
California because Arnold Swarzenegger didn't work out, Which action
actor would you vote to take his place. There were 5 names listed
including Lucy and Bruce Willis. I can't remember the other three. Lucy was
the only female.
The results were shown the next day and Lucy won with 36% of the vote.

Ratings for Tarzan #2 Secrets and Lies
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 HaldenHaving 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: WarriorPrincess 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."

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.

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?"

Masterpiece Theatre: Warrior Queen
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.

Xena Takes On A New Battleground
Former Xena star, Lucy Lawless, is taking her fighting attitude to a newbattle 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

A contemporary Tarzan swings to the big cityUpdated: 08 Oct 2003
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).
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 pirateUpdated: 07 Oct 2003
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.

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.

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?
