Folk singer Olivia Chaney's 2013 BBC Radio performance of the 19th-century British ballad "Dark Eyed Sailor" was discovered by director Emerald Fennell and featured as the only non-original singing voice in her 2026 film adaptation of "Wuthering Heights," starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Chaney declined Fennell's offer to re-record the song, with the director insisting on using the original vulnerable version that captured the emotion of Chaney's personal turmoil at the time.
