Laura Dern Talks 'Big Little Lies' and 'Star Wars'
by EG
Laura Dern has played mom to Reese Witherspoon (in Wild) and Shailene Woodley (The Fault in Our Stars), two of her fellow Emmy-nominated actresses from HBO's limited series Big Little Lies. However, on the show, her character, Renata Klein, a working mother determined to find out who is bullying her child, is a threatening adversary to both.
Dern spoke to THR about why she relished playing a character viewers loved to hate (and then eventually love) and how she has been juggling her busy schedule, one that includes reuniting with David Lynch for Showtime's Twin Peaks and with Alexander Payne for his upcoming film, Downsizing, as well as a trip to a galaxy far, far away in Disney's Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (both films are out in December).
