One on One - Darryl Hannah



Hannah recently announced that her decision to launch a crusade against the worldwide sex trafficking trade was prompted by the most intensely personal of reasons. Apparently, back in the 1970s when Hannah was a struggling acting student in Los Angeles, she was approached with the offer to go to Las Vegas and shoot an album cover, with the extra lure of all expenses being paid. Things turned wrong once she got there, however. As those paid expenses began to mount, Hannah began to intuit that no debts go unpaid and it wasn't long before she realized what kind of payment would be expected. It wasn't until another girl clued her in on the truly desperate situation they could find themselves in, however, that the total extent of the horror began to sink in. After she and the other girl realized that they were on the verge of being sold into prostitution via a sex-slave ring, Hannah and the other girl both managed to flee through a window and escape back to Los Angeles. Hannah says she's never gone public with the story, but her razor's edge confrontation with a completely different destiny has always haunted her.
