Laura Dern just admitted that it was very difficult for her to process the death of her mother, Diane Ladd.
The 58-year-old star was devastated when her Oscar-nominated mother died at the age of 89 last month.
Laura said Hollywood Reporter: “I’m not there yet – I haven’t allowed myself to be in it yet.”
the Is this thing running? The actress explained that the emotions surrounding her mother’s death seem “very heightened” after the death of director David Lynch – with whom she worked on the films Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart – in January “and other losses that have occurred this year.”
“But I will say, while I’m overwhelmed by it, looking at the pictures and looking at the things and trying to figure out how to honor them and honor him and all of that in the future, I feel really blessed in their legacy — by holding on to the things they gave us in art and friendship and memories, in stories and activism, in all of it,” Laura said.
Diane died just weeks before her 90th birthday, and Laura paid tribute to her “hero” mother on what would have been a landmark day on November 29.
