This is truly an elegant story. Per WRAL:

The actress who played a mermaid in the movie “Splash” remains in a tree, holding off sheriff’s deputies below. Daryl Hannah is holed up in the walnut tree at an urban garden near downtown Los Angeles. …For years, about 350 farmers have been using the land to grow crops and flowers. But the property owner now wants to build a warehouse.

UPDATE: Oh yeah? Well, my post title was funnier.
