Heidi Hudson Leick, upon graduating high school, got a modeling gig
in Japan; this was perfect because she loves traveling and
modeling. When she returned to New York, her dream was to be an
international model and then go into acting. One day, she quit
modeling while in France, and pursued a TV career. After some
Melrose Place and TV-movies, Hudson's big break in television came
auditioning for her signature role of Callisto. The casting people
told her the part was basically a Warrior Queen, which she thought
was great. Her audition consisted of doing a kick and throwing a
chakram; having intimidated the crew, she got the part. Hudson
attends Xena conventions as a guest of honor. She said her
celebrity status surprises even her: when she had a birthday,
several hundred fans sent her email messages. Her presence touches
so many other people. She loves traveling, going on yoga retreats
and climbing mountains. Hudson said at a convention, "I really want
to thank all the people who have been supportive of me. It is so
appreciated."
