Although she does not make frequent appearances at red carpets, Hannah has not been idle. She has dedicated her time to directing documentaries, most of which revolve around her husband Neil Young’s music. One of the most successful ones that she directed is A Band, A Brotherhood, A Barn, which actually earned a Grammy Award nomination. She also co-directed a documentary concerning Young’s lesser songs that she described as an ode to his “hidden hits.”
Outside of filmmaking, Hannah is equally passionate about environmental activism. She has worked on and presented different documentaries to advocate for sustainability and climate consciousness. She is a regular speaker at events and conferences, leveraging her voice to advocate for environmental transformation. Creatively, she still works with her husband, Neil Young, directing him in productions such as Paradox.
Daryl Hannah’s Hollywood journey
Hannah’s Hollywood journey is nothing short of legendary. She was a star in the 1980s with an iconic role in Splash, where she played a winning mermaid opposite Tom Hanks, and Blade Runner, where she played a brilliant Pris. She showed her versatility in Wall Street, Steel Magnolias, and Roxanne.
Her role as Elle Driver in Kill Bill demonstrated that she could transition easily into darker, more action-based roles. The sword-wielding, eye-patched assassin became one of Quentin Tarantino’s most memorable characters. While she has taken a step back from Hollywood, Hannah still takes on some projects when they appeal to her.
