She is old, but took on climate activism a few years ago. I'm happy to have as many allies as possible here
She's 86, and apparently still acting.
She starred on the Netflix series Grace and Frankie (which ended in 2022), was a contestant in the 2020 edition of "Who wants to be a millionare?", and has a lot of film credits in recent movies such as "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" , "Book Club: The Next Chapter" , and "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story"

Kids love that Barbarella.
My thoughts exactly. She's meaning well but she should be pushing young voices to speak on her behalf at this point.
As an oldie myself I'm not sure how much effect she'll have on the youth vote but I appreciate that she's trying. Maybe her example will help remind someone my age who's not already casting a ballot for Kamala about our responsibility to keep our children and grandchildren from losing the rights our mothers fought to give us.
does no one here remember Hanoi Jane?
Yes, shes always been an activist.
