Lucy Lawless on Her Margaret Moth Sundance Doc: ‘The Spirit of Margaret Grabbed Me by the Scruff of My Neck and Booted Me Through the Door’
'Xena’ star Lucy Lawless makes directorial debut with doc on fellow New Zealander Margaret Moth at Sundance
For “Xena: Warrior Princess” star Lucy Lawless, the answer was making her directorial debut with a doc about a fellow New Zealand icon, daredevil CNN war camerawoman Margaret Moth. “I received an email from [CNN cameraman] Joe Duran saying, ‘Would you want to make a movie about my best friend Margaret?’ It took about 90 seconds for me to say ‘Yes!’” says Lawless, speaking from her home in Auckland, New Zealand. The film captures its protagonist’s complicated personal life through interviews with two of her lovers, tracing the roots of her behavior to a troubled childhood before chronicling her fearless career through her tumultuous war footage and remembrances from colleagues like CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
