| Lucy Lawless
|
As the best looking sword-toting, leather-clad super-heroine on TV, Lucy Lawless is a feminist icon for the '90s. "Xena is sexy but not in a way most people think," the New Zealand actress says of her role on the syndicated hit Xena: Warrior Princess. Her character's appeal is that she's "complex, and ever-changing," which is to say, Xena is a lot like Lawless herself. Balancing the demands of a relationship and motherhood with TV stardom - as well as a recent Broadway turn as Rizzo in "Grease!" - Lawless is too busy to take life as a warrior pinup seriously. "I'm not a sex symbol in my house," she says. "I'm boring old mom." Executive producer R.J.Stewart disagrees; "Lucy combines beauty, wit, honesty, and tons of soul - that's a very potent combination."
