Battlestar Galactica

-Action SciFi A dramatic revamp of the campy sci-fi classic that ran in the early Eighties, Battlestar Galactica follows a ragtag fleet of humans trying desperately to find their way back home to Earth, while avoiding the Cylons, robot-human hybrids out to obliterate the last of mankind. High human-on-robot action and high human-on-human drama have made the show a hit with nostalgia buffs and new fans alike. One thing's for sure though, this ain't your dad's Battlestar Galactica.

Biography

Lucy Lawless as D'anna Biers

Lucy Lawless was born on March 29, 1968 in Mount Albert, New Zealand. She grew up with six siblings, and started acting while she was in secondary school. She spent one year at Auckland University, where she studied foreign languages, and subsequently headed to Europe with her then boyfriend, Garth Lawless. After traveling around Germany and Switzerland, she and Garth relocated to Australia, where Lawless found employment as a gold miner.

Lawless became pregnant with her first child at the age of nineteen, and in 1988, she and Garth tied the knot in Kalgoorlie, Australia. After the wedding, they returned to New Zealand, where Lawless eventually gave birth to daughter Daisy. They divorced in 1995, and three years later, Lawless tied the knot again, this time with Robert G. Tapert, producer of the hit adventure series, Xena, of which Lawless was the star. They have two children, both of who were born in Auckland, New Zealand.

Her earlier acting credits include Funny Business, A Bitter Song, Shark in the Park, Within the Law, For the Love of Mike, The End of the Golden Weather Girl, The Rainbow Warrior, The Ray Bradbury Theater, Typhon's People, High Tide and The Black Stallion.

She also had a recurring role on the hit television series, Battlestar Galactica, where she played D'Anna Biers for two seasons.

Apart from acting, Lawless has also established herself in the music industry. She debuted at the Roxy in Hollywood in 2007, and has come out with her first album, Come 2 Me.

I have to rush back to Los Angeles to be with Marissa, who is down to the final 5 in DWTS. She was in the bottom two last week. See what happens when I leave town?! Usually I am there making rude gestures across the dance floor, like I'm pulling a noose tight, just to stop her taking it all too seriously. Still, I want her to get through another week. Please don't forget to vote!

Okay, so here I am in London where they are worrying about the election results, petrol tax and the dramatic upswing in the number of women arrested for drunkeness. But don't worry, I should be out in time for soundcheck Saturday.

My chaps arrived from Los Angeles as promised. They are as nasty as all get-out and I am ashamed of myself. The band members are all on the case and seem prepared to have fun. Annie is going to wear her big black boots and long brown hair, just like the chick from the Jets, "BE MY GIRL.” And we're going to break out some Garbage too. It's going to be the sweatiest show ever.

You know what to do.
