Lucy Lawless on ET

Lucy Lawless on "Entertainment Tonight"

January 31, 1997

At the time of Lucy's accident, there was a lot of controversy over ET's
choice to show footage from the scene. Some thought it in extrememly
poor taste, and others who hadn't heard about it wanted to see the footage
for it's news value. After initially choosing to include one picture from the
accident footage here, I've decided to pull it. Thinking about it now, if I
were Lucy, I wouldn't want pictures of my trauma floating around the
'net, no matter their newsworthiness.

If Xenites reading this are curious about the events surrounding Lucy's
accident, there is an Accident FAQ now available from
the people at WHOOSH. Special thanks to Diane Silver for her insightful commentary on a sensitive issue.
