Laura Dern Grew Up In A ‘Household With Women.’ She Says Kris Kristofferson Taught Her On Set How Men Could Be ‘Deeply Generous’ Too


Actor Laura Dern is set to return to the screen on the 2024 movie schedule, and with that in mind she’s been making the rounds to promote her next project. At the same time, the acting legend from films like Jurassic Park and Marriage Story has taken a moment to honor an interaction she had with the late Kris Kristofferson. Sharing a touching story about their time together on the set of Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, Dern discussed the country singer turned actor and his “deeply generous” spirit.

Through her guest spot on SiriusXM’s The Spotlight with Jessica Shaw, Laura Dern was on hand to promote her next film, the Netflix original Lonely Planet. In light of Kris Kristofferson’s passing, the Academy Award winner shared this anecdote about what she learned from the man himself:

I do love to watch people for sure. And it’s very easy to watch Kris Kristofferson. That was an amazing gift. But it’s interesting, you know, poets have a particular nature and, you know, the way he would use his hands and scratch his beard. I remember as a kid kind of figuring out that that person was a poet somehow not understanding songwriting per se yet. So, there was something deeply generous about his nature to watch. And, you know, I think that, at the time, mostly being in a household with women, it was cool to see someone with a deeply generous energy on set with the actresses and, yeah, he was amazing.
