- Halle Bailey, The Little Mermaid, 2021. TV’s Zendaya and Jane Levy were leaders of the pack vying for the titular Ariel as Disney continued struggling with diversity in its casting. Tragically, the early release of the caused a b(l)lacklash from the usual racists farting on anti-social media about the choice of the exquisite Bailey. Also in the mermix were Maya Hawke, Jane Levy and Lindsay Lohan “One thing I’ve learned from my parents [Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke] and from observing all the artists I’ve been lucky enough to grow up around is that you’ve got to be brave.” Even in defeat. The Covid 19 pandemic delayed the release until 2023 – and of three other Maya movies.
