Lucy Lawless

It’s been decades since Lucy Lawless became world-famous as Xena, the Warrior Princess. Since then she’s done everything from appearing on Broadway in Grease to starring in an eye-opening Spartacus TV series. Now she’s made her directorial debut with a compelling documentary called Never Look Away, about videographer Margaret Moth, who thrived on the adrenaline of shooting in war zones. It played at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest and is now opening in theaters and on many streaming services. Lawless is justifiably proud of her achievement and Leonard and Jessie were impressed with her—as an interviewee and as a filmmaker.
