Driver made TV debut as a child activist

British actress Minnie Driver got her first taste of fame when she was just eight years old - after a BBC TV crew caught her on camera protesting against plans to chop down her school tree.

The 'Good Will Hunting' star, 38, was taking part in a song-and-dance protest outside her school in Hampshire, England to try and save a 300-year-old oak tree from destruction to make way for a new highway.
