- Zoë Bell talking about Lucy Lawless in the 2004 stuntwomen documentary Double Dare.
With all this Bell in the internet ether, perhaps it’s time for a Birthday Haiku?
Xena, Kill Bill and Death Proof
Not Aussie. Kiwi.
Winner of two Taurus Awards for her stunt work in Kill Bill, this native New Zealander grew up in the rough and tumble business of stunts. Starting off as Lucy Lawless’ stunt double on Xena, she’s now transitioning from bloody beat downs to high octane action acting with prominent face time in both Tarantino’s Death Proof and Drew Barrymore’s Whip It. In Angel she channels her inner “Rain Ocampo” mowing down baddies and avenging the wrongful killing of a little girl … which she actually committed (twisted, huh?).
While we’re sure she can handle many more years of pushing the envelope of personal pain, check out this story of her worst moment of back breaking work which she discussed during 2009’s Comic Con, and watch Zoë and Lucy together again in the movie about an assassin with a hole in her head, Angel of Death.

Hi Barbara. We’re hoping to be available in the UK by the end of the year. Sorry for the inconvenience. Glad you’re interested in Angel of Death!
I’m in the UK and appear to be barred from watching Angel Of Death even on Youtube. Any chance you might make it available to those of us who are outside the USA?
