Laura Dern

[Chris]

Does anyone like Laura Dern just as much as me?
I'm overly obsessed with her, her acting, her looks and her amazing capability.

So any thoughts on this foxy lady?

I'm sure I'll be called lazy, but can you name something big she's been in? :/ Obviously I'm not obsessed, but she seems familiar... and I"m not getting a bad vibe from that feeling. So I think I liked whatever it was ... Maybe?

Laura Dern

Seems as if her most famous role was in Jurassic Park. Not particularly impressive, if you ask me.

That's where I've seen her. Can't say it was a bad role. She had to play a certain type character. Not sure if it was her personality influence or the writing. So I can't really judge. Kinda odd mix of girly & tomboy stuff, but not really bad. Considering Alex (the little girl) had basically the same character type I think it's more a shoddy script than her acting.

Playing characters ranging from wide-eyed virgins to willful sirens to drug-addicted losers, Laura Dern is among the screen's most interesting modern actresses. Tall, blonde, blue-eyed, and slender, Dern moves with a coltish combination of grace and gangliness that she uses to make herself alternately plain or beautiful, innocent or seductive, as her roles require.

Her most famous roles where in:
Jurassic Park, Mask (The one with Cher), Blue Velvet,
Rambling Rose, October Sky, Within These Walls & I Am Sam.

I liked her role in Jurassic Park, and it was a good movie too.
