About this episode

Laura Dern discusses her new film Jay Kelly and her experiences working with notable directors and actors.

Laura Dern returns to Skip Intro with Krista Smith to discuss her new film, Jay Kelly, and reuniting with director Noah Baumbach after her Oscar-winning performance in Marriage Story. Calling it “the time of my life,” Dern shares what it was like working with George Clooney and Adam Sandler, walking in Paris Fashion Week, and having irrational fears that she playfully blames on Steven Spielberg. She also pays heartfelt tribute to the ’70s cinema legends who shaped her, including her parents, Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern, and her godmother, Shelley Winters.
