Daryn Hinton was a child actress rooted in the Hollywood entertainment industry whose father Ed Hinton and grandfather Edgar Latimer Hinton were both actors. Her mother was entertainment socialite Marilynn Hinton who was president emeritus WAIF and president of ANTAN (American National Theater Authorities) alongside John Forsythe. In her autobiography, actress Jane Russell called Marilynn Hinton "Dynamite...and a walking who's who", who knew everyone important and could make anything happen. Hinton's sister, Darcy Hinton Cook, was an actress whose godparents were actors Steve Cochran and Denise Darcel. Hinton’s brother, Darby Hinton, is an actor, producer and was a child star whose godparents were actor Charlton Heston and politician Winthrop Paul Rockefeller. Hinton’s godmother’s were both actresses Jane Russell and Bobo Rockefeller. Hinton was named Daryn by actor Tyrone Power after his daughter Taryn Power. Hinton's father, Ed Hinton, was killed on Columbus Day 1958 in a seaplane crash in front of Daryn and her family's eyes on Catalina Island in California. Fess Parker, who played brother Darby Hinton's father Daniel Boone on the Daniel Boone TV show (1964–1970), became an important father figure to Hinton and her brother as stated by Darby Hinton at the 2010 Fess Parkers memorial in Santa Barbara, CA. Hinton grew up at 1234 Bel Air Road, East Gate Old Bel Air, Los Angeles, CA. The home was featured in Life Magazine's essays of Bel Air for its jungle-like atmosphere and pool in the living room. The Hinton's were friends with many of their celebrity neighbors including Zsa Zsa Gabor and former president Ronald Reagan. Hinton's actor father Ed Hinton was on The General Electric Theater hosted by Ronald Reagan in 1957. Upon Reagan's death, Hinton expressed her views of Reagan to the Los Angeles Times June 6, 2004. "This man made Americans feel good about being American and right now we need to remember that, especially in these difficult times," said Hinton. Hinton spoke out internationally about her neighbor, former President and actor Ronald Reagan, to the Guardian UK, June 7, 2004: Daryn Hinton said it was the legendary ability of the "great communicator" to reach out to the American people that set him apart. "He was able to communicate to people how he felt about America," she said. "He was an actor, after all."
