After 40 years, Daryl Hannah still vividly recalls her time as a mermaid in the iconic film Splash. The actress, now 63, reminisces about the challenges she faced while wearing the heavy and painful mermaid tail prosthetic during filming. Despite enduring bloody feet and discomfort, Hannah fondly remembers her experience on set, where she would stay half-submerged in water to alleviate the strain of the costume.
Co-stars Tom Hanks and John Candy added a touch of humor by feeding her French fries during breaks. Despite the physical toll, Hannah's love for the film shines through, reflecting on the joy she found in the underwater scenes shot in Los Angeles, New York City, and the Bahamas.
