Mermaid In 1984

Splash is one of the greatest movies, we all can agree to that. The movie featured Tom Hanks and SCTV alums John Candy and Eugene Levy and of course, the beautiful Daryl Hannah. According to Hannah, to completely fit in inside the mermaid suit it took her 8 hours even though most of the part of the suit was hand painted. “My circulation would be gone in my extremities, so it took a while before I could walk again. It made me very sympathetic to fish! I remember when I was filming the scene in the lab tank I was very upset about a big fish that was being kept in a smaller tank,” said Hannah.
