Daryl Hannah

well right the fiji mermaid the one that um pt barnum so famously purchased um if you've ever seen you've seen pictures of it i promise you yeah it's it's basically like the upper torso of a monkey that's been attached to the tail of a fish yes with a you know by a taxidermist and uh it looks absolutely not alluring at all yeah like Like, nope, wouldn't fall for that.

It's not Daryl Hannah.

No. That's for sure.

Yeah, that's right.

Remember she was in the bathtub and the tail? Yep, yep.

That's, yeah.

So that's, but that, yeah, that's, we come back to it, right? Whether it's Disney or Daryl Hannah or whatever.

Like, we keep coming back to that, the mermaid story.

I think it was on Tubi.

Daryl Hannah was in this movie? Yeah.

Daryl

Hannah.

How did you know? Daryl

Hannah looks strange as Morticia Adams.

I mean, Daryl Hannah is an attractive woman, but in this case, her forehead's like too big and too square for like Morticia Adams.

It's like, you might as well be Lurch's like fucking girlfriend or something.

And this movie right here, you said it, the women, the cast, holy cow, Vivica A.

Fox, Lucy Liu, Daryl Hannah, Uma Thurman, like stacked with powerful women.

And Tarantino knew what he was doing.

He knew putting those women together, he knew what that was going to do.

What's her name? Elle.

She's fighting...

Daryl Hannah's character.

Yeah.

Despite being a country music legend, few stories had anything to do with country music with these stories.

My Dolly story, says Dennis, is that the movie Steel Magnolias, in which she starred with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Olympia Dukakis, Sally Field, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Julia Roberts.

Oh, and don't forget my favorite, who sometimes pops up on the show, because I'm a huge fan of Northern Exposure, Janine Turner, was filmed in my elementary school hometown of Natchitoches, Louisiana.

Natchitoches.

And this was 1989, and director Herbert Ross, and of course, it's had an all-star cast, Sally Field.

Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Libby Dukakis, Julia Roberts.

A young beautician newly arrived in a small Louisiana town finds work at the local salon where a small group of women share a close bond of friendship and welcome her into the fold.

So, yeah, this...

Julia Roberts is a nurse who gets married, wants to have a family.

So these are all like regular women.

Daryl Hannah's going through it with a divorce and then a remarriage and her religious, spiritual reawakening, whatever.

She goes through it.

Let's do it.

Uh, Steel Magnolias, it opens, um, with, uh, Annelle, Daryl Hannah.

She's the new girl in town.

A beautiful little Louisiana town.

The b- the wedding's go- going crazy.

Oh, and then, so Anelle wants to get a job at, at Dolly Parton's, uh, salon and, and she takes her and it's, uh, it's fun.

And they, uh, I guess there was a lot of kinda back and forth about if Daryl Hannah should have this part, 'cause she's supposed to be really mousy, and Daryl Hannah, of course, is a fucking bombshell-

Yeah, yeah

about the work and being serious, her

and Daryl Hannah studied hairstylists so their scenes where they were actually doing hair would look authentic.

So we know that Dolly always comes prepared.

God, there was some high, high hair in that.
