Ray: I'll have to add that flick to my earthquake survival kit. Since my Randall Kleiser ban went into effect in 1988, I never got around to watching Summer Lovers, but I do appreciate the Howard Stern perspective on Daryl Hannah. It will have to do until Hannah is booked on Inside the Actor's Studio. Thanks for commenting! Dad: You could argue that Daryl Hannah is the only cast member from Wall Street still doing interesting work. Except for James Spader. And Terrence Stamp. Oh and John C. McGinley. Oh never mind. Amanda: Thanks for commenting! The true craftsmen never go out of style. Daryl Hannah was priceless in Kill Bill. It takes more than an ingénue or a stuntwoman to get tobacco spit thrown at you and give a line reading. "Gross." Somehow, I cannot see Lori Singer or Helen Slater coming out of retirement to do that. Marilyn: Your editorial prowess on all things Chicago is definitely appreciated. In fact, this feature is threatening to become the Chicago Actor's Guild as that seems to be the city where all these film stars came up. It is a time consuming feature though and without comments from readers like you, I would probably not continue it. Thanks so much for commenting.

Joe – Another good choice. I really like this feature a lot. I’ve gotta make one correction. I think Hannah studied with Adler in NYC, where she had established her own school decades ago. I have never heard of Adler teaching at the Goodman School.

I can’t tell you how happy I was to see her in Kill Bill after so many years of nothing. And she’s pretty good in it too. When I was a kid, she was one of my favorite actresses, and she’s still the highlight of Splash. It’s unfair how underrated and undervalued she is.

Spot on character and career analyses. I’ve thought Daryl Hannah could have pulled off starring in a sequel called Wall Stret II.

In this case, the opinionated public is correct…
Howard Stern is and always has been nothing more than a shock jock jerk.

Take care son,
Dad

Thanks for remembering one of my favorites.

If it’s 2am and the walls are closing in, Daryl’s Summer Lovers could make life seem worth living again.

She was interviewed by Howard Stern about ten years ago. He asked about her home — a teepee with something like 3000 square feet, indoor plumbing and electricity, in the middle of hundreds of acres of unspoiled land in Wyoming.

“So what do you do, walk around in the woods naked all day?” asked Howard.

“Well, yeah,” she replied. “Wouldn’t you?”
