Line #0 Trivia/DarylHannah


1	* BabyNameTrendStarter: Her character in ''Film/{{Splash}}'' singlehandedly transformed the virtually unknown boys' name "Madison" from [[LineOfSightName a street sign]] into one of the most popular girls' names. {{Exaggerated}} because of its staying power: it took over a decade to reach the heights. The name became the second-most popular name in the US for two years just after the TurnOfTheMillennium before decreasing and leaving the top ten during the middle of TheNewTens, over thirty years after the film's release. Consequently, the joke is lost on current viewers.
2	--> "It's funny because no one understands the irony, because the whole point of me choosing that name was because it [was such a] silly name..." -- [[https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/bp/splash-joke-lead-madison-baby-name-boom-190720175.html Daryl Hannah]]
3	* CareerResurrection: Experienced a comeback in the early 2000s that culminated with ''Kill Bill''.
4	* CreatorBacklash:
5	** Daryl Hannah was never happy about playing Bud's materialistic girlfriend Darien in ''Film/WallStreet'' and has never even seen the finished film. She considered the role to be at odds with everything the actress and activist represented. Creator/SeanYoung[[note]]who was unpopular on the set and especially didn't get along with (i.e. was hated by) Creator/CharlieSheen, who played Bud, to the point he once stuck a sign on her back saying "I am a [[CountryMatters cunt]]" and nobody bothered to tell her about it[[/note]] told Creator/OliverStone that she should play her role. Stone later admitted that Young and Hannah should have swapped roles. Hannah said in an interview that it was a "rough experience", and that she and Stone also had an [[HostilityOnTheSet "unhealthy working relationship"]]. At the time of filming she accused Stone of being a misogynist. She said "film is a collaborate medium. Sometimes you hook up with people you don't collaborate well with."
6	** According to Hannah, the original script for the 1984 teen film ''Reckless'' did not have any nudity or sex in it. However, when the film’s director James Foley decided to [[HotterAndSexier add scenes of nudity and sex in the final film]], Daryl ended up breaking out in ''hives'' from being naked and doing love scenes.
7	** When asked in that same 2010 interview with ''[[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/feb/08/daryl-hannah-actor The Guardian]]'' what the ''lowest point'' in her career was, Daryl said it was starring in a bunch of DirectToVideo movies in the 2000s, which she only did for the cash:
8	--->[[MoneyDearBoy "Doing some films just for the cash, which hopefully went straight to video and no one ever saw"]].
9	** With the exception of ''Film/BladeRunner'' [[note]]which Hannah considered to be her "career high point"[[/note]], she does not look fondly at any of the films she appeared in prior to her StarMakingRole in ''Film/{{Splash}}''[[note]]Those films being ''Film/TheFury'', ''Hard Country'', ''Film/SummerLovers'', ''Film/TheFinalTerror'', and ''Reckless''[[/note]]. In fact, whenever it was brought up in interviews, Daryl would become embarrassed and apologize for starring in them:
10	--->[[https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-features/who-is-this-daryl-hannah-anyway-100560/amp/ "Oh, God, I’m sorry. Embarrassing."]]
11	* CreatorsFavorite: When Daryl was asked in a 2010 interview with ''[[https://www.theguardian.com/film/2010/feb/08/daryl-hannah-actors The Guardian]]'' what her "career high point" was, she said it was the film ''Blade Runner'':
12	--> "It was like ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'': we all went into another reality."
13	* ReclusiveArtist: Daryl suffered from such paralyzing shyness and social anxiety (due in a large share to her being [[UsefulNotes/HighFunctioningAutism autistic]]) that it made it challenging for her to venture out on talk shows, premieres, or award shows like the Oscars as a means of promoting her work. In a [[http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=16764&count=0#ixzz0fW69XY9u 2010 interview]], Hannah proclaimed that her difficulties with social interactions ultimately had a seriously detrimental effect on her career:
14	-->"I never went on talk shows, never went to premieres. Going to the Academy Awards was so painful for me. I'd almost faint just walking down the red carpet. I was so socially awkward and uncomfortable that I eventually got blacklisted. Studio executives would call me but I'd be too shy to call them back. So after a while a couple of studios literally told my manager that I was blacklisted."
15	* StarDerailingRole: ''Film/KillBill'', ironically, as it was what brought her into contact with Harvey Weinstein.
