Today's Blind Items - Real Life

The work she was getting was minimal. Yes, she was landing movies, but they were smaller parts and they were not high paying. People assumed she was rich because of her past fame that rocketed her to A list. That was more than a decade gone at that point and she needed to make money. She landed a movie where she played a stripper. She has always been candid about how she researched the role of stripping but she leaves out a lot. She leaves out the fact that while she was in these clubs, she started meeting men who remembered her glory days. One thing led to another and for the entire run of the film and for a couple years later, she had a group of a half dozen men she met doing research who slept with her for money and not only kept her afloat financially, but one of them died and left her several million dollars in his will. She used that money to finance trips to places other wealthy men might congregate who remembered her and managed to be in three other wills. She also used her connections to land one of the named icons in history who also got her accepted into certain circles after he was gone. She also got two paintings when he died which are worth several million dollars. Now, she has married, which she hadn't done before, but she knows the value of her current marriage and what she gets when he dies. She has already cut his children out of the royalty part or any publishing rights. All they get is some cash. She wants the legacy stuff.

      Hah. I remember that movie. She was FUAD, but she had a look on her face like “um, do I let him?” Then he poked her and roared like a lion. I like the sign language he used when he wanted her to assume the position.

  8. Dancing at the Blue Iguana also had Jennifer Tilly and Sandra Oh, fun times.

    In 2001, actress Daryl Hannah released a one-hour companion documentary, Strip Notes, based on her experience researching her role as a stripper in the film, which is included as an extra on the Dancing at the Blue Iguana DVD. Hannah stars along with Charlotte Ayanna, Elias Koteas, Jennifer Tilly, and Sandra Oh.

  22. I would've called Darryl A list at her prime in the 80's. She had Splash, Roxanne and others. I thought she was considered the "it" girl for a short time until Meg Ryan took over.

  29. Spoiler alert: some of the stuff featured in the blind makes zero sense, especially when written by an "entertainment lawyer".

    The publishing rights claim, for instance, is quite interesting. If you read the liner notes and the credits on many albums, you can see that writers set up new publishing companies when there are legal events that affect the royalties. Change of manager? If your manager got a share of your publishing rights, that means a new company. Band splitting up? Same. Marriage, divorce? Same. It's basically easier to set up new terms with a new company than to renegotiate the existing deals, which takes years (Shall I say a decade?).

    Neil Young, as a solo artist or a member of CSNY, basically had three publishing companies for his own songs, Broken Arrow (the title from a Buffalo Springfield song), Silver Fiddle (from "See the Sky about to Rain") and Broken Fiddle (which had been used much less often). Then in 2014, around the divorce, he set up a fourth company, Storytone (which was the title of his new album, a very crappy one). Since then, every new song he's released has been published by Storytone Music. If Hannah gets a share of the publishing, that would be through Storytone, and his recent output hasn't been exactly the acme of Young's career.

    But Hannah getting the share that Young's children were supposed to get, or the one granted to Pegi Young even after the divorce? Not a fat chance. That would involve the lawyers for Pegi Young, but also for the late actress Carrie Snodgress (who had a son with Young in the early seventies).

    Also, something smells funny me in these Darryl Hannah stories. Two out of three children by Neil Young have severe developmental issues, including cerebral palsy. That's why he had set up the Bridge school, for children with special needs like his own ones. The person who writes these blinds basically knows VERY little about Young, as they didn't even mention this, which is common knowledge (unlike the publishing companies stuff) and should be the final nail in Hannah (and Young)'s coffin. Cutting your own children out of your will? That's a dick move. Cutting your special needs children out of your will? That's really a cunt move. If the writer doesn't mention this, it's because they don't know it. And if they don't know it, how are they supposed to be believed?

  30. Aquagirl-- With respect to your family member, I didn't get anything perjorative from Chillax's comment...I think he (she? I dont know!) Was simply using it as "little known trivia," and that is, most likely , due to her "normal" highly public profile over decades.

    Darryl did spend a number of years living in an authentic tepee and driving a van operated on used vegetable oil. It is hard to pair that modern environmental hippie image to a black widow, but the blinds about her and neil over the years have been sketchy, at best.

    Two of his sons have special needs, I hope to God that she's not cheating them out of their inheritance.

  35. Another BS blind. Thank you, Angela. This site is a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  36. @Angela,a lot of people cut disabled children out of wills. This is because 1 it is put in a trust to make sure medical needs are met.2 estate taxes would greatly reduce the inheritance,3, a disabled person is more easily taken advantage of. Also,you of course know Carrie Snodgrass had to take Neil to court to provide proper support for their son,his illness and Neil effectively ended her career. Having said that,some parts of this blind are not accurate regarding Hannah, but judging by Love/ Cobain, once Neil passes we can expect blinds for the next 25 years.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Young is definitely not a saint. For all his big talk about trust and friendship, he has a rather disappointing track record on keeping his word. And David Crosby himself has accused Daryl Hannah of being a gold digger.

    That said, there's indeed something very weird about a 58-year-old "predator" (per Crosby) taking control of a 73-year-old musician. This isn't a May to December romance, it's mid-November to early December. They're both adults, and Neil Young has never been known for being pussywhipped. Their romance hasn't really affected his music. His track record has been quite spotty for 25 years, and her involvement with him hasn't resulted in her adding something else than some lousy artwork to an archival release. Brian Wilson's wife, for instance, the one that was portrayed by Elizabeth Banks in the biopic, may have forced him to tour despite a deteriorating health (physical and mental) in the last few years and to make questionable artistic choices. Neil Young hasn't changed styles or switched to more commercial releases because of Hannah.

    So, once again, I'd put the source of this blind as "Himmmm", who tried at one point in his career to be a professional musician (and who failed epically in that regard). He tends to see the world in Spinal Tap terms, where behind every wrong decision by one of his musical heroes, there's a woman to blame. You had it with Kurt and Courtney, you had it with Chris and Vicky, and now it's Neil and Daryl.

  39. Darryl Hannah was def A list for a time in the 80s. She was an it girl, for sure.
    Neil Young has ALWAYS been a POS, so IDC if DH rips him off.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Umm, Darryl's stepfather was a billionaire from Chicago, it was this wealthy connection that led her to travel in the same circles as JFK Jr and eventually meet him. She'd have no need to fleece older men for money to make ends meet.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Courtney is definitely somebody I don't like, who doesn't deserve the attention she gets, but accusing her of murder is typical manbaby thinking. "There is this musician that I love, he's the BEST musician ever. I even have his poster in my dorm room. But, hey, he kills himself!!!! No, that can't be true. No, that's impossible. Even with his heroine addiction, his chronic back pain, his depression, which he wrote about in his diaries. No, I can't believe it. It must come from this witch, this evil woman he had married." If people can't see the deathwish that was right at the heart of the music created by Cobain, they're definitely idiots. But it's so easy to put all the things that are wrong in his life on the influence of a Jezabel.
    Also, Courtney Love was a really good actress in The People vs. Larry Flynt and Man on the Moon. She's not as untalented as some claim.

    By the way, Cobain's suicide note quoted a line by Neil Young. I don't think that Courtney Love knows Young's catalogue well enough to be able to forge such a suicide note.

  46. @Vita: Thanks for your comment, but talking about a person’s illness is in no way a ‘fun fact’. We had a recent blind here a few days ago & the topics of fibromyalgia and MS were discussed. It’s totally inappropriate to make fun of or doubt someone’s illness. I know that your mother was ill for many, many years. How would you feel if someone called that a ‘fun fact’?

  53. So what's with Young's sperm making all these 'tards? Is it the cool 60's drug shit, maybe? Oh, there were consequences to being a fucking deadbeat hippie. Who knew?
    Of course you don't want developmentally delayed adults to have a credit card, so a woman who knows what to do with money would be convenient. She's in her late fifties and in the end of opening credits/key cameo phase of her career, just before the last face lift shatters when she tries to smile.
    NY's father was something like the Walter Winchell of Canada. These people are all different life forms. Not hoi polloi at all. They do as they please. They even have the fix in when called home to hell. It will be like minimum security "work farm/resort" for these shits.
