On the final day filming Jurassic Park in 1992, Hawaii was hit by the largest hurricane in its history. Laura Dern stood on the beach with her co-star Sam Neill and watched the waves rise. Was he worried, she asked? “You know, I think we might die, Laura,” he said. She laughed.
That sounds about right. Dern is an optimism pro, cheerful and resilient as a windsock. Yes, humans are probably doomed, she thinks, but what an exciting time to be alive!
