On the first time she and her mother did a film together, David Lynch's Wild at HeartĪFP via Getty Images Isabella Rossellini, left, David Lynch, Laura Dern and Diane Ladd laugh during a photocall for Wild at Heart at the Cannes Film Festival in 1990. "The more we talked and the deeper and more complicated of subjects we shared, my mother got better and better and better. In addition to bringing them closer, Dern believes the walks have helped her mother feel better as well. They made a very convincing mother and daughter in the HBO series Enlightened,for which Dern received a Golden Globe. For the film Rambling Rose, she was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, and her mother was nominated for Best Supporting Actress – the first and only time a mother and daughter were nominated for the same film. She starred with Nicolas Cage and her mother in David Lynch's Wild at Heart. When Laura was a child, she was an extra in the film, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, which costarred her mother and was directed by Martin Scorsese. This is not the first time Dern and Ladd have teamed up. It moved me so much – the people in our most intimate relationships, how little we ask." Things as seemingly mundane as favorite foods, favorite colors, favorite flowers that were just to pass the time. "What shocked me as I would start to engage her in topics is how little I had asked.
Most of us don't "spill the beans," until it's too late, Dern says. Thinking this was the last time they'd have together, the conversations were intimate and honest. Those conversations, which Laura recorded for herself and her children, are now a new book Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love (and Banana Pudding). To make the time more interesting and engaging, Dern interviewed her mother. So, every day – sometimes over Ladd's protestations – the two set out on a 15-minute walk. Ladd, who is also an actor, thought she had six months left to live - but the doctor said taking walks might help her increase her lung capacity. Nearly four years ago, Laura Dern's mother, Diane Ladd, was diagnosed with lung disease.
