![]() ![]() SAGAL: No, I'm just interested in the - I wanted to get some more details. PROVENZA: That's like saying that you read it for the articles. SAGAL: But you learn so much about ancient Rome in this show. It's a lot like the movie "300," though not so restrained and subtle. I don't remember as much nudity in the Kirk Douglas version as there is. SAGAL: Let's talk about the new show, "Spartacus: Blood and Sand." This is, of course, an updating, shall we say, of "Spartacus," which was, of course, a famous movie with Kirk Douglas many years ago. And it was always part of her intentions. In fact, one of the producers, Liz Friedman, is a proud lesbian. LAWLESS: Well, it wasn't initially, but I now know for sure that it was not lost on the producers when they were putting the character together. SAGAL: Is that something you guys intentionally played up? There were a lot of women who were very enthralled with your relationship with Gabrielle. And Xena, we have to talk about this, had a certain rabid following among very different demographics. LAWLESS: I hate to say it, it makes them cry, but it's the only ace card I have. So your kid's whining in the back of the car and you turn around and you go? At this point, I think we need to hear it. SAGAL: She dresses that way for all interviews. PROVENZA: Does the Xena wardrobe ever come in handy? LAWLESS: Only if I need to shut up a whining child in the back of a car. SAGAL: Does being Xena, or having been Xena ever become useful in real life? So, she was really a good - at least a third, if not a half of Xena. I mean I did everything when the camera was on my face, but I had an amazing stuntwoman called Zoe Bell. But we understand you did your own stunts? You were. SAGAL: So I know you get this question a lot, but how much of Xena was you? Are you the kind of tough person who can like leap five feet over walls and beat up people left and right? PAUL PROVENZA: Where's the convention for that? I used to get a lot of letters from, like, judges and lawyers who wanted me to stomp on them in my boots. LUCY LAWLESS: I don't know, but I would think they'd like that. And now we come to Lucy Lawless, who for many years was the star of the cult adventure TV show, "Xena: Warrior Princess."ĬARL KASELL: On our show that day in January of 2010, we had Kyrie O'Connor, Paul Provenza and Paula Poundstone with us, as Peter asked Lucy if any of her fans were intimidated to meet her in person. Listen, what we're doing is we are listening back to our favorite TV and movie star interviews. ![]()
