Shot in Kawaihe Harbor of the Big Island of Hawaii, the shooting of Waterworld wrapped with at least of its cast and crew coming dangerously close to kicking the bucket, including Tripplehorn.
Grey Gardens received the 2009 Television Critics Association for Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries, and Specials; three nominations including two wins; and a stunning for the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards and six wins.
Tripplehorn left the series after two seasons and replaced her as a new agent.
