EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: 'Doctors Wanted Me Institutionalized,' Daryl Hannah Reveals
Oct. 27 2010, Published 1:00 p.m. ET
Actress Daryl Hannah has admitted her childhood doctors wanted her institutionalized.
In a new video exclusively obtained by RadarOnline.com, the Blade Runner icon - who turns 50 in December - revealed how her parent's divorce sparked difficulties at school, while she was growing up in Chicago.
She says she experienced a "disconnected sense of reality" and began acting out.
"My parents went through a divorce which caused me to be a little bit more withdrawn," Hannah tells Celebrity Ghost Stories.
When she was seven, Hannah -- who later starred in Splash, Wall Street and Kill Bill -- says her concerned parents took her out of school and forced her to visit a doctor, who put her through a suite of tests.
"I wasn't communicative and wasn't behaving like the rest of the kids," she says in the video.
"And they thought I needed to be on some kind of serious treatment plan and I should probably be institutionalized."
Celebrity Ghost Stories airs Saturday, October 30, at 9 p.m. on the Bio Channel.
