Just now, she’s telling me about the projects she and Jonathan Demme have been hatching together since the two came that close to doing The Silence of the Lambs with each other. Today, clean-scrubbed and luminous in black, she suggests a ’50s small-town sweetheart trying to come off as a wild, fine bohemian. Dern looks radically unlike the whiplash-figured life force she played in Wild at Heart, which won her plaudits, or the heart-rending love-seeker of Rambling Rose, which won her an Oscar nomination. “Secrets, darlin’, secrets,” Laura Dern purrs while leaning over a corner table at a deserted restaurant that’s so redolent of late-night cigarettes and broken hearts that it could stand in for Rick’s in a postmodern version of Casablanca. While Dern maintains a veil of secrecy, she is surprisingly forthcoming on several topics. You may be surprised which one she thinks is weirder. In the May 1993 issue of Movieline magazine, Dern discussed her relationships with her costars and compared director Steven Spielberg to the notoriously eccentric Lynch.
Dern started her career as an indie darling and the muse of idiosyncratic auteur David Lynch, but twenty-five years ago she went mainstream in the original Jurassic Park. Last year, Laura Dern enjoyed a career resurgence.
