Following her second Oscar nomination, for 2014?s Wild, actor Laura Dern is now in the middle of what many are affectionately calling ?the Laura Dern-aissance,? thanks to a recent influx of TV and film roles, including back-to-back scene-stealing roles as Renata Klein on HBO?s Big Little Lies and as the coveted Diane on Twin Peaks: The Return.
It might surprise some fans to hear, then, that Dern was blacklisted from Hollywood back in 1997 for playing Ellen Degeneres' love interest on the comedian's sitcom, 'Ellen'.
In a reunion on The Ellen Show, Dern says she didn?t work for a year after the episode, in large part because many people thought she was gay.
Dern told Degeneres, ?I started getting calls, which was so shocking to me, from friends and colleagues, even gay friends and colleagues, saying, ?Are you sure you want to do that??
