Movie actress and filmmaker Daryl Hannah is used to red carpets and the glare of the spotlight. But she has no issue taking a backseat to two stars during her monthly visits to a seniors’ daycare facility in California. The two stars are Romeo and Ziggy, miniature horses that Hannah brings with her to bring joy to the seniors, many of whom are suffering from the various infirmities of aging.
According to an adorable video from NBC News, Hannah has been bringing the minis for over a year.
“It’s really moving, the first couple of times we came I was in tears because some of the people actually cried, people had their memories come back to them,” Hannah tells reporter Steve Patterson. “They talk about when they had horses in World War II or they had a mule when they were a little boy”
