Laura Dern. She's captivating in Smooth Talk, quite adorable in Blue Velvet and terrifically terrified in Jurassic Park. I have a serious soft spot for her as the inspiring Miss Riley in October Sky, who pushes Homer Hickam (bitty Jake Gyllenhaal) to build his dream rocket. She has the gusto to play wholesome and vanilla with the hint of something dark and off-kilter underneath. In her new comedy series, Enlightened, which premieres on HBO this October, she plays an executive who has a nervous breakdown and embraces a meditative lifestyle in its aftermath. A little bit crazy & a few parts cool--sounds like the perfect Laura Dern role to me.
