Splash was one of the best movies to come out of the 1980s and it introduced the world to the talent that is Tom Hanks. The film also starred SCTV alums Eugene Levy, John Candy and it also featured Daryl Hannah as Madison the Mermaid. 

According to Daryl, her hand-painted mermaid tail took eight hours to put on and after being in it all day, it made it hard for her to walk once she got out of it. She said, “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.”
