Basinger has a long history of fighting for whales, joining the long list of activists and celebrities demanding that SeaWorld phase out its program of captive orcas for public display. SeaWorld announced last month that it's ending its program and will not breed any further orca whales.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both had big wins last night, with the presumptive Republican nominee Trump winning all five states: Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut and Rhode Island. Clinton won four states -- with a net increase in pledged delegates of about 50 -- but lost Rhode Island to Bernie Sanders.
For his part, Bernie Sanders has pledged to only talk issues going forward, in an effort to influence the Democratic Party platform at the July convention in Philadelphia.
