The camera rolls and David Lynch called "Action!" and it's very emotional and I'm crying in her arms. She remembered me preparing for the scene at one end of the set and her at the other, both doing our work, both having trained separately as professionals, not engaged in that together, and then coming together to do this very emotional scene. My mom talked about the joy she had remembering the first time we worked together on Wild at Heart, and we had to do this very emotional scene. 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. 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. They are pictured above in Los Angeles in 2015. Just pulling into the parking lot from Santa Monica Boulevard is tempting the car accident gods.Laura Dern, right, and her mother Diane Ladd have adapted a series of their conversations into the new book Honey, Baby, Mine. Glitches: Why, oh why, must so many people insist on having their parties at Arena? Despite the club’s enormity, air seems always at a premium, especially on the upper levels (hot air rises, remember?). Almost no one danced, preferring to stand on the balcony that ran the perimeter of the club, or else squish into the faux VIP lounge, where it was body-to-body and stiletto heels were ground into unsuspecting metatarsal arches. “A couple of critics are not gonna dig it, but the reaction seems to be good.”Įntertainment: On platforms above the dance floor were a woman dancing with a real snake knotted around her waist and a fire-eater. “I didn’t get to talk to everybody (at the screening), I kind of left fast, but I could feel the audience was with the film. Quoted: Lynch, in his trademark white shirt buttoned up to the neck, said he’s been pleased so far with reaction to the film, which was at one time headed for an X rating.

Talk of “Wild at Heart” seemed to overshadow (at least for now) curiosity over who killed Laura Palmer, but Grace Zabriskie (who stars in both the film and the TV series) says she still gets asked who offed the homecoming queen. In fact, spotting “TP” stars at the premiere became a major source of entertainment. The Buzz: It was no surprise that a whopping majority of the film-goers gave raves to “Wild at Heart,” considering it won the Palm d’Or at Cannes and considering how many Lynch fanatics have emerged since the “Twin Peaks” phenomenon. They shouted above the thump-thump-thumping house music and used the word “fabulous” an awful lot when describing Lynch’s film. Guests schlepped to the jillion-plex at Universal City for the screening (which started a half-hour late) and then schlepped to warehouse-esque club Arena in Hollywood for a late-night party. The Scene: The hot-ticket Monday night premiere of David Lynch’s “Wild at Heart,” his hotly anticipated film starring Nicolas Cage, Laura Dern and Dern’s real-life mother, Diane Ladd.
