Lucy "Xena" Lawless trying to save Alaska [View all]
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/23/xena-actress-boards-ship-in-new-zealand-oil-drill-protest/WELLINGTON — “Xena: Warrior Princess” actress Lucy Lawless and a group of Greenpeace activists boarded an oil-drilling ship in New Zealand Friday in a bid to disrupt plans to search for oil off Alaska.
Lawless and six other protesters boarded the ship Noble Discoverer early Friday in a bid to prevent it sailing to the Arctic, where it has been contracted by Anglo-Dutch energy giant Shell to conduct exploratory drilling.
Lawless said her actions, which forced authorities to close the North Island port of Taranaki, were prompted by a desire to save one of the world’s last pristine environments.

Lucy has always been so cool in my humble eyes.
