New Zealand actress Lucy Lawless (born March 29, 1968), known among moviegoers as “Xena the Warrior Queen” at birth bore the surname Ryan. She was the fifth child in the family and was not inferior in boyish tricks to four older brothers. In the end, her parents sent 8-year-old Lucy to a convent school, so that there, in addition to education, she was taught at least a little patience and humility. Lucille graduated from elementary and then high school, and during her studies she performed numerous roles in the school theater, and even entered the University of Auckland. But after less than a year of study, she decided that she had enough and went to travel around Europe with her fiancé Garth Lawles. Young people have visited many countries, hitchhiking and taking odd jobs.
Returning from Europe, the young couple worked for a while in Australia on the gold mines, and then moved home to New Zealand. Lucille gave birth to a daughter Daisy, perhaps they would have lived a life of love and harmony (or without them) ordinary people, but fate sometimes presents pleasant surprises.
23-year-old Lucy won a beauty pageant and won the title of Miss New Zealand 1989. This immediately opened many doors for her. She began to be invited to star in commercials, lead television programs and was given a role in a comedy show. Lucille divorced Garth. And soon on television began to shoot
series "The Amazing Journeys of Hercules" . In several series, Lucy Lawless starred in secondary roles, but then the actress who played the role of Zena fell ill, and, being in time, the directors of the series invited to the role of Zena Lucille. A little later, a separate series was created about Xen, which was filmed for 6 years and brought Lucille Lawless wild popularity. During filming, Lucille married film producer Robert Tapert.
In 2001, Xena completed her victory on television. Lucille gave birth to two sons in her new marriage. After Zena, she starred in many episodic roles, participated in the show, sang on the stage. In 2010, she played the role of Lucretia, Batiatus’ wife. /
