Dalva is a 1996 American made-for-television drama film starring Farrah Fawcett and Carroll Baker, based on the novel by Jim Harrison
Although Fawcett isn't the movie's only star, she is the only performer to be billed in the opening credits. However, on DVD and VHS home video packaging, Baker and Powers Boothe garner direct below-the-title billing.
