Daryl Hannah began acting in the late 1970s, and by 1982, she landed a starring role in “Blade Runner.” While her performance is excellent in the movie, it didn’t make as big a splash on popular culture as did her 1984 film, “Splash.” From there, Hannah scored high-profile gigs in prominent films of the 1980s, ’90s, and 2000s, working with Oliver Stone, Quentin Tarantino, and other notable filmmakers.
Hannah modeled throughout her career and landed the cover for the November 2003 issue of Playboy. Unfortunately, Hannah wasn’t as happy about this as other actors who’ve done the same. A month before the magazine hit store shelves, Hannah expressed her frustration, telling Howard Stern off the air that she planned to sue the magazine over the use of photos she didn’t previously approve.
Ultimately, Hannah didn’t bring a suit, or if she did, the affected parties kept it quiet. Hannah’s frustration revolved around a prior agreement that gave her final approval on every photograph the magazine published, which didn’t work out in the actor’s favor. Regardless, the photos ran, and in her interview, Hannah said, “My favorite thing is to be naked, which is why I always live in remote areas.”
