The acting bug has flown far and wide, biting impressionable, attractive youths the planet over with the urge to ham it up for fun and profit, an itch of ambition melded with artistic expression that lovely New Zealand lassie Meighan Desmond has scratched to the delight of fans of female fantasy warriors worldwide. Xena: Warrior Princess has bred legions of devotees in every corner of the universe; to a man and a woman these aficionados hail “Discord,” the impish queen of perplexing chaos brought to life with erotic presence and campy power by marvelous Meighan. The skimpy, cleavage-clamping costumes worn by Discord must in some small part be responsible for that character, and Meighan, popping up again on the offshoot Young Hercules, satisfied her acting-bug itch and spread a rash of frantically scratching admirers.
