Burying the lede. Basically Daryl says the show was absolute trash and not an accurate portrayal at all. She finds it incredibly disrespectful and harmful that they portrayed her as doing Coke off a Kennedy family heirloom. She claims 1 she’s never done Coke and 2 she would never desecrate an heirloom like that.

I thought it was well done.

“A recent tragedy-exploiting television series features a character using my name and presents her as me. The choice to portray her as irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate was no accident... The character ‘Daryl Hannah’ portrayed in the series is not even a remotely accurate representation of my life, my conduct or my relationship with John. The actions and behaviors attributed to me are untrue. I have never used cocaine in my life or hosted cocaine-fueled parties. I have never pressured anyone into marriage. I have never desecrated any family heirloom or intruded upon anyone’s private memorial. I have never planted any story in the press. I never compared Jacqueline Onassis’ death to a dog’s. It’s appalling to me that I even have to defend myself against a television show. These are not creative embellishments of personality. They are assertions about conduct — and they are false.” (via The New York Times)

I take issue with regular people not having 'work' done then. I graduated from HS in 1987 and that year my best friend got a nose job and my second best friend had breast implants. We were middle class kids. These surgeries were kept top-secret.

She should sue for defamation if they portray her doing drugs which she has never done.

I'm the PP who said work wasn't common. Those procedures cost thousands of dollars and were out of reach to the majority of the population, unless you had a doctor who convinced the insurance companies you had a deviated septum and needed the nose job to fix it. You were probobaly not middle class from most people's perspective.

Just compare it to now when EVERYONE is getting work done, including men. And women are starting it in their 20s. My Gen Z DD tells me her generation does "preventative" work. I live in the suburbs and there is a "medspa" on every corner in my town and my neighbors openly talk about their botox, fillers, etc. This is VERY different from the 80s and 90s.

She is absolutely correct that they were just playing her up as a villain without regard for her real personality or candor. I respect the discretion she had had over the years. But jeez, I bet this piece will end up getting more attention for the show, if anything.

Spot on. People who were getting teenagers nose jobs and boob jobs in the 80s were not "middle class kids." They were either rich kids whose parents told them they were middle class (I've noticed doctors kids are often like this -- were their parents doctors?) or their families were very trashy and prioritized plastic surgery for their daughters over things like education.
