“Splash” actress and environmental activist Daryl Hannah was arrested on Tuesday for being part of a White House protest against the Keystone XL oil pipeline, which will run from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
The NBC video below shows the still-gorgeous 50-year-old Hannah being plucked from the singing crowd and arrested while her fellow protesters cheer for her. Another 100 were also taken into custody. Police said they asked the group to leave three times — and when they refused, that’s when the handcuffs came out.
“Sometimes it’s necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom,” Hannah said. “And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future.”
