Although she does not want to become an A-celebrity, people do contact her to play guestroles in some very well known TV-shows. Lucy's groundbreaking role as Xena captured a global audience and redefined the role of the female action hero, launching her into international fame.Īnd international fame surely came. In 1997 she made her Broadway debut as Rizzo in Grease in 1997, hosted Saturday Night Live in 1998 and appeared on The Simpsons in 1999. The show ran from 1995 until its two part season 6 finale in 2001, during this time Lucy married Xena producer Robert Tapert in 1998 and had her first son Julius Robert Bay Tapert in 1999. 1995 marked a time of change for Lucy, her career was gaining speed, Xena was on fire and had established it's own fan base with men and women alike, but her marriage to Garth Lawless ended. The 5 movies were unexpected hits and were made into a weekly show, Lucy quit her travel show to play two different roles, 'Lyla' in episode 6 'As Darkness Falls' and after dying her hair dark, 'Xena' in episodes 9 'The Warrior Princess', 12 'The Gauntlet' and 13 (season finale) 'Unchained Heart', now known as the Xena Trilogy.īy the third episode of the trilogy it was obvious to producers that they were setting up a spin-off, Universal were excited about the prospect of a series centering around a female action hero and so the show and Lucy's breakthrough role Xena: Warrior Princess was born. Although Lucy didn't get the lead, she played the Queen's second in command 'Lysia'. Lucy auditioned and was a finalist for the part, as much as producers liked Lucy they were afraid to cast a kiwi in such an important role and she lost out to Roma Downey. Producers Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi needed a woman to play the Amazon Queen 'Hippolyta' in the first installment 'Hercules and the Amazon Women'. In 1994 American producers were in New Zealand filming a series of 5 films based on the mythological hero Hercules. She had more talent then just for these short projects and so continued to audition for dramatic roles. Lucy returned to New Zealand in 1992, appeared in 'The Rainbow Warrior' and co-hosted a travel show 'Air New Zealand Holiday'.

But a structural approach to singing killed Lucy's enjoyment and natural urge to sing, yet she wasn't discouraged from pursuing a show business career and found work in Auckland modeling and acting. So after graduating high school in 1985, Lucy set her sights on becoming an opera singer, while studying languages (German, French and Italian) at Auckland University she signed up for private voice lessons. Lucy had a wonderful singing voice and friends and family were hoping she would pursue her talent.
