Daryl Hannah, known for her iconic roles on screen, has transitioned successfully to working behind the camera, with much credit going to her husband, Neil Young. The 63-year-old actress is currently editing a documentary she shot and directed about Young's last solo tour, titled the 'hidden hits' tour, featuring lesser-known songs and B-sides.
Their latest project follows the success of their previous collaboration, 'A Band, A Brotherhood, A Barn,' which was nominated for a Grammy Award last year. Despite her extensive onscreen career in films like 'Roxanne,' 'Wall Street,' 'Steel Magnolias,' and the 'Kill Bill' series, Hannah received her first major award recognition with this documentary.
Hannah admits to feeling uneasy around movie sets due to past negative experiences, which is why she finds fulfillment in her current role as a filmmaker, particularly working with her husband. Their partnership has resulted in intimate documentaries like 'Mountaintop' and the poetic film 'Paradox,' distributed by Netflix.
Publicly acknowledging their relationship in 2014, Hannah and Young later tied the knot in two private ceremonies, emphasizing their shared passion for activism and volunteerism, particularly in environmental causes.
Young has praised Hannah for her physical strength and intense workout regimen, which includes Pilates and pool workouts with weights. The couple's shared values and interests have strengthened their bond and collaborative work.
For Hannah, collaborating with her husband on creative projects holds more appeal than pursuing acting opportunities. She expresses contentment with her current slate of projects and is not actively seeking acting roles, although she remains open to compelling opportunities.
When asked about Young's favorite Daryl Hannah movie, she humorously admits to not knowing, highlighting the couple's focus on their shared creative endeavors and activism.
