Lucy Lawless fractured her pelvis last week while taping a skit on horseback for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
The 28-year-old New Zealander is expected to leave the hospital today.
She's doing great, she's just going to need rest and recuperation time," said Jim Benson, spokesman for show distributor MCA Inc.
Lawless, in the United States vacationing and doing publicity for her popular syndicated show, was taping the skit in the NBC parking lot when her horse lost its footing and fell. The horse was fine, but not Lawless.
Lawless stormed into the world of syndicated action-adventure television in March 1995 as a guest character on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. Her own show, which began a year ago, has been has been among the top 10 this season.
