JUNE 2004 Archives

Lucy is in fine form in the latest New Idea Magazine. Pictured at the 34th Annual LA LGBT Pride Parade, Lucy is really playing up to the camera in a cheeky pose. She was a huge bow on the front of her short black dress with sleek black gloves covering her whole arm, finished with a kiwi tiki around her neck.

There are 2 pics of Lucy in this mag, see attached. If you would like a copy, just let us know. The total is US$14.00 and this includes shipping. (Its a heavy mag!)

Boogeyman News

• The release date for Boogeyman (in the US) is 4 February 2005 according to Fangoria Magazine
  Screen Gems has set a release date of February 4, 2005 for BOOGEYMAN, the first movie to roll for Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert’s Ghost House Pictures. Stephen T. (GET CARTER) Kay directed the film, about a young man (7TH HEAVEN’s Barry Watson) who believes that the titular phantom devoured his father 16 years ago, and returns to his hometown to confront the creature as an adult. (See Fango #234, currently on sale, for Raimi’s comments about the project.) The movie, which co-stars Emily Deschanel and Lucy Lawless, was lensed (in New Zealand) before Ghost House’s THE GRUDGE, but that Takashi Shimizu film will open first (October 29 from Columbia).

Congratulations to Lucy for getting the Order of Merit in the Queen's Birthday Honour List for 2004

Lucy has been given this honour for services to entertainment and the community.

The following is from the NZ Herald - 7 June 2004

Another person from the entertainment world to be honoured was Lucy Lawless, made a member of the NZ Order of Merit. The 36-year-old actor, whose role as Xena in Xena: Warrior Princess made her a cult television star, has been involved with the Starship Foundation for the past 10 years and has held a role on its board of trustees for the past four years.  Starship Foundation chief executive Andrew Young said Lawless gave freely of her time.

The full list can be viewed here http://www.dpmc.govt.nz/honours/lists/list.asp?id=27

What is the Order of Merit?
