Daryl Hannah created fantasy world to escape reality

Actress Daryl Hannah hated her childhood so much that she created her own fantasy world as an escape.

Hannah was bullied at school and resorted to her imagination to provide relief. Contactmusic.com reports that she believes this is what helped her achieve acting success.

She said: 'I really lived inside my head. It got me nowhere at school. I was a skinny kid who was picked on. I liked anything based on imagination. I was obsessed with living in my imaginary world. I just needed film sets and costumes to live out my fantasy.'

Hannah has starred in such hits as 'Wall Street' and 'Roxanne' and was romantically involved with the late John F. Kennedy Jr.
