***Dalva*** is a 1996 American [made-for-television](/source/Television_film) [drama film](/source/Drama_(film_and_television)) starring [Farrah Fawcett](/source/Farrah_Fawcett) and [Carroll Baker](/source/Carroll_Baker), based on the novel by [Jim Harrison](/source/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](/source/DVD) and [VHS](/source/VHS) home video packaging, Baker and [Powers Boothe](/source/Powers_Boothe) garner direct below-the-title billing.

## Plot

When [Farrah Fawcett](/source/Farrah_Fawcett)'s Dalva, who is part Sioux Indian, was a teenager, she fell in love with Duane and became pregnant by him. She later learns that Duane is also her half-brother. Her grandfather forces her to give the baby up for adoption. Five years later,[1] Dalva finds Duane. He tells Dalva that he is dying; he rides into the sea in the sunset and shoots himself. Sixteen years later, Dalva finds love with a friend of her father's named Sam ([Powers Boothe](/source/Powers_Boothe)) who encourages her to find her son. She finds her son, and Dalva finds true love in the arms of Sam.[2]
