How is your mother now? I mean, she'd been given six months to live. What a pleasure to have you back on the show.
Those conversations have been adapted into the new book "Honey, Baby, Mine." To make the time more interesting, Dern basically interviewed her mother and had a long series of conversations, which she recorded for the sake of her own memory and to give to her children. So Laura Dern took her mother on 15-minute walks every day in spite of her mother's protests that it was too exhausting and painful. The doctor gave her six months to live, but said it might help increase her lung capacity if she took walks. Dern and Ladd believe the lung disease was caused by exposure to pesticides sprayed on farms in the area Ladd lives in. It grew out of her mother's diagnosis of lung disease. Now she's written a new book that's a series of conversations with her mother. Dern won a primetime Emmy for her performance in HBO's "Big Little Lies" and an Oscar for her role in the movie "Marriage Story."
They made a very convincing mother and daughter in the HBO series "Enlightened," for which Dern received a Golden Globe. No, she co-starred in David Lynch's film "Blue Velvet" and starred with Nicolas Cage and her mother in Lynch's "Wild At Heart." For the film "Rambling Rose," she was nominated for an Oscar for best actress, and her mother was nominated for best supporting actress, the first and only time a mother and daughter were nominated for the same film. She wasn't in the typical kids' films or teen films. When Laura was a child, she was an extra in the film "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore," which co-starred her mother and was directed by Martin Scorsese.
Her parents are actors Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern. My guest, Laura Dern, has been a professional actor since she was about 11.
