Actress Lucy Lawless is recuperating after fracturing her pelvis in Los Angeles Tuesday while preparing a stunt for a The Tonight Show appearance.
A spokesperson for MCA Television, producers of the popular syndicated fantasy series, said Lawless was in the parking lot of NBC's Burbank studios when her horse fell. It will be about eight weeks before she can return to work on the show's New Zealand set.
Enough episodes are completed to run until early December when the show was scheduled to go into reruns. A storyline about Xena going missing has been quickly written to cover Lawless' absence from the first three January episodes. Xena, which airs locally on Global and CKVR, began its second season last week.
