Lucy Lawless, the star of television's Xena: Warrior Princess, was in stable condition Friday night after fracturing her pelvis while taping a skit for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
The 28-year-old New Zealander was injured when a horse she was sitting on in the NBC studio parking lot lost its footing and fell, said Jim Benson, spokesman for the show's distributor, MCA Inc.
"She's recovering well," Benson said. "She's hoping to go home any day."
The injury was expected to have little impact on the show's production, Benson said.
Lawless stormed into the world of syndicated action-adventure television in March 1995 as a guest character on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. By fall 1995, Xena had earned her own series. It was among the top 10 shows this season.
