A role that slipped away
Dayan was originally cast in a different part in Novitiate, but she and writer-director Maggie Betts decided mid-production that the role of Sister Emanuel suited her better, so the other part went to Morgan Saylor.
Big break
Dayan was cast as Elsa Peretti in Halston after her manager suggested the part; she had been preparing to audition for a role that was cut in rewrites.
A change of course
Before screen acting, Dayan worked in Paris as a fashion design assistant at Sonia Rykiel and modeled for Karl Lagerfeld and Ellen von Unwerth.
