Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Liz often writes for TV with a partner, Vanessa Place.
  Edit Share Hide
- Liz quite literally wears her homosexuality on her sleeve. The first time she met Director/Proucer Sam Raimi, she wore a Queer Nation sticker on her leather jacket. "I took the strategy in my life early on that I was going to be as out as I possibly could." Being out, Friedman says, "takes away something that people can use against you as a weapon."
  Edit Share Hide
- Liz got her job as production assistant for Sam Raimi after she mailed her sociology thesis "A Feminist and Class-Based Analysis of Slasher Films" to various horror film producers, including him. In her thesis, Liz praises horror films for having strong female characters.

ADD QUOTES
- Liz: (when asked her opinion on fan fiction) I think it's great stuff because what we're doing is inspiring people to write.
  Edit Share Hide
- Liz: (when asked whether she prefers comedies or dramas) I prefer the darker ones. I like comedy a lot and I do love to laugh but I love dramatic story telling. I love a good story and a good twist. I think we`ve done some great comedies but by the time these things are done I`ve watched them four or five times and sometimes those laughs get a little thin, after about the fifth viewing.

- Liz: The thrill about Xena is getting to make Wonder Woman for the 90s. That was always my favorite show when I was a kid except that I thought Wonder Woman cared too much about breaking her nails. Xena doesn't give a shit.
