UPDATE for Official Xena Fan
Club members:
XENA NEWSLETTER #19 approved and in production. There
were two moments in
my interviews with Lucy and Renee in this issue where they
spoke about each
other that I thought you might enjoy.
Here's Lucy's response when I asked if she would have chosen
the 40,000
souls over Gabrielle.
"I really love that Gabrielle says, 'I don't care,'"
Lucy said softly. "I
love that so much. It was human and so very real.
I wish we could have
explored that idea. Not that it needed to be explored
more. It was all
there in Renee's face. But it was so interesting to
me."
Here's a bit of the conversation I had with Renee about me
describing Lucy
as "loopy."
"I talked with Lucy last Tuesday and it came up that when
people ask me
what Lucy's really like, I list a few things and then I say
she's also kind
of loopy."
Renee burst out laughing.
"She didn't seem offended and I said she's like Meg.
Meg's loopy," I
explained. "Meg gets this look on her face and her
elbows go out. It's a
goofy sense of humor that Lucy also has that's unexpected . .
."
". . . because she's so strikingly beautiful," Renee
chimed in. "You
wouldn't expect that from someone who looks the way Lucy does.
She looks
like a femme fatale and to be goofy and
loopy really throws you."

For those who have
been asking, the Official Xena Fan Club Newsletter #18 has
started to ship. I thought I'd give ya'll a peek at
issue #19.
There were some interesting notes on the recent photo approval
forms I sent to Lucy and Renee that I thought you might enjoy.
I sent a batch of photos from Hercules episodes where Lucy did
crossovers. Next to one of the numbers was a smiley
face. When I looked up the matching photo, it turned out
to be from "Stranger In A Strange World." It's
a photo of Xena at the end of the cake fight with Aphrodite.
Lucy said she just loved that shot. Sure can't accuse her of
only clearing photos where she looks perfect as so often
happens in Hollywood. In fact, both Lucy and Renee have
never had any qualms about approving photos where they were
messed up, dirty, funny-looking or screaming in battle.
Renee wrote "Wow!" next to one from Hercules and the
Lost Kingdom. It is a picture of Renee as Deianeira
standing before a castle. She thought the composition of
the photo was stunning with the castle in the background and
the flowing robes of her costume.
Renee happened to be in our office when the photos for the
photo club "comedies" month were ready to approve
and she sat down at my desk and began to look them over.
I heard her chuckling and went over to see what was going on.
"When I got into this business, I never thought I'd have
to make a note like this," she said, laughing and
pointing at what she'd written. This is what was on the
approval form, "Please crop out pasties." It was a
photo of one of the naked dancing Gabrielles from "The
Quill Is Mightier." You can check out the pic from
February 2002 www.creationent.com/outback/xpc/02/feb02/Feb2002.html
and see how we did.
The DVD for the finale had just been released when I
interviewed Lucy for issue #19. I listened to the
commentary done by her, Renee and Rob and asked follow-up
questions to things mentioned on the DVD. In her
interview, Lucy talks about playing Young Xena, doing
cartwheels, Xena's relationship with the young women in her
life and Xena's choice to save the 40,000 villagers of Higuchi
rather than staying with Gabrielle. Guess which
character from the show she misses most.
For her interview, Renee gives us a look into her life as a
student studying Shakespeare at Will Geer's Theatricum
Botanicum. We learn her thoughts about Gabrielle taking
a fencing class, being given a scene where she finds a
headless body for the second time in her acting career and the
joys of scansion. Wait till you read who turned up in
her Shakespeare class! Her thoughts on Lucy being
"loopy." And we find out which character from
the series Renee misses most.
