Early life

Laura Elizabeth Dern was born on February 10, 1967, in Los Angeles, California. [1] [2] [3] [4] The daughter of actors Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern and great-granddaughter of former Utah governor and Secretary of War George Dern, she was conceived while her parents were filming The Wild Angels . [2] Poet, writer, and Librarian of Congress Archibald MacLeish was her great-great-uncle. After her parents divorced when she was two years old, Dern was largely brought up by her mother and maternal grandmother, Mary, who had Norwegian ancestry, from Oslo. [5] She was raised Catholic. [5] Her godmother was actress Shelley Winters. [6] She developed scoliosis as a child. [7]

Her first film foray was an appearance as an extra in White Lightning (1973), a film in which her mother starred. [8] Her official film debut was an appearance opposite her mother in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974). [9] In 1982, Dern, aged just 15, served as Miss Golden Globe. [10] In the same year, she portrayed a rebellious rock band member in the cult film Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains . [11] At 16, [12] after doubling on her classes to graduate high school a semester early, [13] she sought and attained emancipation, [14] which allowed her to work the same number of hours as an adult on films. [8] After moving out of her home at the age of 17, Dern became roommates with Marianne Williamson, who is 15 years older. Dern later enrolled at UCLA intending to double major in psychology and journalism, but withdrew two days into the semester to film Blue Velvet . [13]

Career

1980–1999: Career beginnings and breakthrough

Dern got her first credited role, Debbie, appearing alongside Jodie Foster in the 1980 coming-of-age film Foxes . At the age of 11, she had originally auditioned for a different role after telling casting directors that she was 14. [15] [13] [16] In 1985, she was cast two weeks before production began as protagonist Connie Wyatt, a carefree 15-year-old girl who grabs the attention of a predatory stranger, in the film Smooth Talk . The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival in the Dramatic category in 1986 [17] and received largely favorable reviews. It is seen as the film that launched Dern's career. [18]

Between 1985 and 1990, Dern gained critical acclaim for her performances in Mask , Blue Velvet , and Wild at Heart . The latter two of which were directed by David Lynch, which began a longstanding collaboration between Dern and Lynch. [19] In the biographical drama film Mask, she played Diana Adams, a blind girl who becomes Rocky Dennis' love interest, starring alongside Eric Stoltz and Cher. At the age of 16, she played Sandy Williams, one of the starring roles alongside Kyle MacLachlan and Isabella Rossellini, in the critically successful mystery thriller film Blue Velvet. It is widely regarded as Dern's breakthrough performance. [20] [21]

In 1990, Dern once again collaborated with Lynch, and starred opposite Nicolas Cage in the black comedy crime film Wild At Heart, in which Dern played a vastly different character from her previous role in Blue Velvet. Dern called the role an opportunity 'to play not only a very sexual person, but also someone who was, in her own way, incredibly comfortable with herself'. [22] The film, which had won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, was met with generally positive reviews from critics, but polarized some audiences at the time. [16] Lynch cast Dern's mother, Diane Ladd, in a supporting role for the film. [23]

Dern auditioned for the role of Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), but lost the role due to studio's skepticism about her level of fame at the time. [24] [25] In 1992, Dern and Ladd, became the first mother and daughter to be nominated for Academy Awards for acting in the same film for their performances in Rambling Rose . Ladd received a Best Supporting Actress nomination, and Dern received one for Best Actress. [26] The following year, she won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film and received her first Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Television Movie for her performance in the 1992 television film Afterburn. [27] [28]

Dern played Ellie Sattler in Steven Spielberg's 1993 film Jurassic Park , achieving international recognition with the role. [29] Dern, who had been more focused on independent films prior to the film, was Spielberg's first choice for the role of Ellie, after having been impressed with her work in Smooth Talk and Rambling Rose. [30] She was influenced by Cage to take the role, [31] and called the decision an "easy yes", recalling how Spielberg and producer Kathleen Kennedy made sure the character was a "no-nonsense feminist who had her own independent spirit and was brilliant in her craft", and wasn't an "oversexualized action heroine" while describing filming to be similar to an independent film. [30] [32]

That same year, Clint Eastwood contacted Dern for the film A Perfect World. After the release of Jurassic Park, Dern was offered many roles in blockbuster films, but to avoid typecasting ultimately chose to star in Alexander Payne's directorial debut black comedy film Citizen Ruth . In the film, she played a pregnant drug addict who unexpectedly attracts national attention from those involved in the abortion debate. It debuted at Sundance Film Festival to critical acclaim for the film and for Dern's performance, but only received a limited release from Miramax, likely due to its controversial topic. [33] [34] [35] Ladd made a cameo appearance, playing her mother for the third time, following Rambling Rose and Wild At Heart, with Dern's character screaming a torrent of abuse at her.

In 1997, Dern was asked by Ellen DeGeneres to guest star as Susan Richmond, a lesbian who helps Degeneres' character, Ellen Morgan, come out of the closet in "The Puppy Episode" of the sitcom Ellen , while DeGeneres herself came out at the same time offscreen. Despite protests from people around her, she shrugged off concerns and immediately accepted the role, [36] where she received her third Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series. [37] The decision significantly impacted her career in the following years with Dern revealing in an April 2007 airing of The Ellen DeGeneres Show that she did not work for more than a year and that she needed a "full security detail" following her appearance in the historic episode due to the resulting backlash at the time, but nevertheless called it an "extraordinary experience and opportunity" and "an incredible honor." [29] [38] The following year, Dern co-starred in the television film The Baby Dance , for which she received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actress – Miniseries or Television Film. While dating Billy Bob Thornton in 1999, Dern played the love interest in his film Daddy and Them , which also includes Ladd. In Joe Johnston's biographical drama film October Sky , Dern played the teacher who is involved about amateur rocketry, launched by NASA engineer Homer Hickam (Jake Gyllenhaal).

In 2000, Robert Altman cast Dern in his comedy Dr. T & the Women . In 2001, Dern reprised her role as Ellie in Jurassic Park III , which was directed by Johnston whom she had worked with in October Sky. Originally hesitant to return for a cameo, Dern was convinced when it was suggested by executive producer Steven Spielberg to the writers, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor who had previously collaborated with Dern for Citizen Ruth, to have the character play an important role by saving the other characters. [39] That same year, she co-starred in Within These Walls and Arthur Miller's Focus . She starred in the film I Am Sam as Randy Carpenter, a woman running a foster home.

[41] In the same year, Dern portrayed a supporting role in Lonely Hearts .

[46] Dern played Amy Jellicoe, a "health and beauty executive who returns from a post-meltdown retreat to pick up the pieces of her broken life." Dern brought screenwriter Mike White, whom she collaborated with on Year of the Dog, back into television work after he had suffered an on-the-job meltdown of his own. [47] The series received critical acclaim and lasted two seasons. Dern's mother Diane Ladd plays the major supporting role of Helen Jellicoe, Dern's character's mother in the series. Dern received her third Golden Globe Award and fifth nomination, her first in the Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy category for her performance.
