Mini Biography

New Zealand icon Lucy Lawless, is most famously known for her role as "Xena: Warrior Princess" (1995). Lucy is married to Robert Gerard Tapert and resides in New Zealand. They have two sons, Julius Robert Bay Tapert and Judah Miro Tapert, who were both born in New Zealand. Lucy also has a daughter, Daisy Lawless, from her first marriage to Garth Lawless.

The New Zealand superstar was awarded an Order of Merit in the New Zealand Queen's Birthday Honour List in June 2004. Lucy, whose role as "Xena" in "Xena: Warrior Princess" (1995) made her a cult television star, has been involved with the Starship Foundation and has held a role on its board of trustees. She was awarded the Order of Merit for services to entertainment and the community.

Whilst she has been primarily known for her role on "Xena: Warrior Princess" (1995), Lucy has also appeared on the classic TV series "Battlestar Galactica" (2004) in the semi-regular role of "D'anna Biers", amongst her other many and varied roles including the hit Adam Sandler movie, Bedtime Stories (2000). Lucy was also in several made-for-TV movies including: Locusts (2005) (TV) and Vampire Bats (2005) (TV). She also lent her voice to the straight-to-video movies: Justice League: The New Frontier (2008) (V) and Dragonlance: Dragons of Autumn Twilight (2008) (V).

In addition to acting, Lucy made her singing debut on the TV show "Celebrity Duets" (2006) and followed that up with sold out concerts in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago and London. She has also performed at various benefits and, most recently, at the 2009 Planet A Concert in her native New Zealand. Lucy is on the board of the "Starship Foundation", a New Zealand charity which raises funds for Auckland's Starship Hospital.

Lucy has taken up the role of activist for causes she passionately believes in. In May 2009, Lucy became involved with "Greenpeace" and their Sign On Campaign. Lucy joined other celebrities in launching a petition urging the New Zealand government to sign on to a 40 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. Lucy and other New Zealand actors/performers were ambassadors for a campaign by the international environmental group "Greenpeace" aimed at United Nations climate talks in Copenhagen in December.

In April 2010, Lucy and Robyn Malcolm launched Greenpeace's campaign against mining in New Zealand national parks. The New Zealand Government plans to open up 3,000 acres of previously protected land, for mining. Lucy launched the campaign at the Punakaiki Pancake Rocks, 50 km. southwest of the proposed mining sites. She asked tourists what they thought of coal mining in the Paparoa National Park - one said it would "ruin" New Zealand's legacy.
