Picture

I know we have to find a "free" picture for this article, but can we please replace the one that is on the article now. Its terribly dark and too small. Milonica (talk) 04:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I was just about to say the same thing when I noticed it, but looks like you beat me to it. Gemini4t (talk) 22:38, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

what "critical acclaim"? her "performance" in recount was ott and ridiculous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.104.121.114 (talk) 14:32, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Note: There is an error in this article. It shows Laura Dern winning an award for Jurrasic Park in 1991. The movie was not released until 1993. This needs to be corrected.

Birth Year

The article text states that Dern was 13 during the time of a movie being shot in 1981 but her birth year is put forth as 1957. One of those is incorrect, IMDB suggests her birth year is 1967. Finchna (talk) 15:47, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

New Picture

She looks like she's being forced to smile at gunpoint.

Can we get one that isn't hilarious? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doubledragons (talk • contribs) 19:20, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Seriously. It's like an Egon Schiele. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.229.98 (talk) 20:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Incorrect filmography

The quote: "Dern's starring role in Blue Velvet was a breakthrough though her next notable film, Wild at Heart, took almost four years to be released." is not very encylopedic. It gives the impression that she appeared in only minor roles, but she in fact appeared in 2 major motion pictures and several other projects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.206.234 (talk) 01:12, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Birth Date

So this is interesting. in a new interview with Variety, Dern states that the birth year written on her imdb profile is incorrect, and that she is really 45 going on 46, not 47. So that would put her birth date in February 1969, instead of February 1967. However, even though we have it coming straight from the horse's mouth that the date listed is wrong, I can't find any other source listing her birth date as anything other than February 1967. So I reverted the edit changing her brith date to 1969 until we can get an actual, verified date. Maybe Dern will make a point to correct it now that she has made it clear that being made out to be two years older in public is bothering her.

Or she could just be lying. Either one. 69.14.38.40 (talk) 11:25, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

As we were confronted with similar claims for the entry in Astrodatabank, we have added a copy of her original birth certificate, which states 10 feb 1967, 7:48 am for her birth. See section 'source notes' on http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/Dern,_Laura --Aloist (talk) 09:32, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
