Tallulah Willis also stated in the essay that the filmDie Hardmessed up her father’s ears. She also claimed that in the early stages of dementia, when he became unresponsive, she feared he was losing interest in her. Willis wrote,
“I’ve known that something was wrong for a long time. It started with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: ‘Speak up! “Die Hard” messed with Dad’s ears.’ Later, that unresponsiveness broadened, and I sometimes took it personally.”
She continued,
“He had had two babies with my stepmother, Emma Heming Willis, and I thought he’d lost interest in me. Though this couldn’t have been further from the truth, my adolescent brain tortured itself with some faulty math: I’m not beautiful enough for my mother, I’m not interesting enough for my father.”
