Laura Dern is Wonderfully Unraveled in HBO's 'Enlightened' Premiering Monday
One of the few times Oscar nominee and Emmy nominee Laura Dern appeared on television was when she famously played the apple of Ellen DeGeneres’ alter-ego Ellen Morgan’s eye in Ellen’s coming out, or, “Puppy Episode.” And while Dern, a David Lynch protégé if ever there were one, acted as the voice of reason as Ellen’s love interest Susan way back in 98, she’s never better than when she’s either unraveling or fully unraveled as in Alexander Payne’s deliciously black comedy Citizen Ruth.
