Laura Dern
A child of actor parents, Laura Dern had an early taste of film sets and moviemaking. She grew up unafraid to tackle unglamorous roles and has appeared in such diverse films as Wild at Heart, We Don't Live Here Anymore and Rambling Rose - a performance which marked the first time a mother and daughter ever received Oscar nods for the same movie. Dern is an outspoken activist and supports many charitable causes, including the Children's Health Environmental Coalition. Inland Empire is her latest film.
