Actress Daryl Hannah was arrested on Tuesday outside of the White House while protesting an oil pipeline.

A statement from the Rainforest Action Network that was sent ahead of the protest said that Hannah, the star of 80’s films such as “Wall Street” and “Splash,” and more than 100 citizens were, “expecting arrest on Tuesday when they join the largest civil disobedience on climate change in U.S. history.”

The entertainer, 50, is calling on President Obama to reject a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, a $13 billion project that would stretch from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
