Actress Daryl Hannah, also known as an enthusiastic environmentalist, was handcuffed and arrested during an oil pipeline protest just outside the White House in Washington, DC on Tuesday (August 30).

Daryl was not alone. The 50 year-old and several other protesters sitting on the sidewalk were promptly arrested when they ignored the authorities’ request to move… three times!

The actress once said, “Sometimes it’s necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom. And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future.”

Daryl was previously arrested for stopping traffic by blocking a busy street during a protest over mining practices in West Virginia back in 2009 (photos here). Daryl is on a mission.
