How Laura Dern Saved Her Mother Diane Ladd's Life: 'I'm Lucky to Be Here'

After Diane Ladd was misdiagnosed and given only months to live, her daughter Laura Dern stepped in. Diane opened up to Access about her traumatic experience and revealed how her daughter saved her life, sharing, "Laura took me out of that hospital and to another hospital and said, 'they're wrong.' Then they fixed the problem."

Diane Ladd and Laura Dern are both as magnificently beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside. And both very brilliant!

My daughter and I are watching Chesapeake Shores on Hallmark Channel. I just did a search because we knew something was going on. I'm so happy Laura was proactive! 🙌 So thankful Diane can & will heal! 🙏
Love this tv show.

apparently the pair, this mother daughter duo, did that movie Wild At Heart 1990. good movie. kinda whacky, and that's why it's a cult classic, not your mainstream type of movie. (has excessive sex and violence) is that the right lady? Because different last name. pretty sure Diane here is the actress from 1990.
