Longtime Crush

I have to admit that I’ve always enjoyed Bruce Dern’s little girl Laura in her movies.  She’s not pretty in the traditional Hollywood sense (whatever that is), but she’s rather sexy.

And I loved her in Rambling Rose:

Now, at an advanced age (for Hollywood) she gets to play with the hotties:

Laura Dern has admitted she felt ‘so lucky’ to be able to perform a racy sex scene with younger costar Liam Hemsworth in their new movie Lonely Planet.

The romantic drama, which landed on Netflix on October 11, sees Dern’s character Katherine Loewe, a successful and respected writer, travel to a Moroccan resort to finish her latest literary novel – which is where she meets Hemsworth’s character Owen Brophy.

New Wife and I watched Lonely Planet  the other night, and it was quite enjoyable despite its obvious unreality (when was a rom-com ever realistic, anyway?), because in no small part Laura’s performance made it credible.  (And the “racy sex scene”?  Compared to some of her other efforts — e.g. her bedtime activities with Nicholas Cage in Wild At Heart — it was brief, and unlikely to cause Hemsworth’s family much embarrassment.)

Anyway, here’s Laura over the years:

And she’s now 57?

Lovely.

  1. I remember her performances in the 1st Jurassic Park and in October Sky. Definitely attractive.

  2. I’ve always liked her. She has a great, attainable girl next door look.

    That said, that movie did noting for me. New Girlfriend gets caught up in those sort of flicks – older broad goes to find herself, dusts off her gear and gets laid by a younger dood. Hell, that appears to be Diane Keaton and Nichole Kidman’s stock in trade these days. Stella gets her groove on, writ large.

    That Macron date your mommy type crap is rare in real life.

    The movie lost me when Helmsworth’s girlfriend outed herself as a self centered cunt. Were that me, I’d have been a ghost the morning after, as would most men, I think, especially if the woman had the body of a teenage boy, as she did.

    1. I wouldn’t say that younger men marrying mature women is rare. It’s more prevalent than you think.

  3. As a friend put it years ago, “Jurassic Park, starring Laura Dern and Laura Dern’s ass.”

  4. Wild at Heart is a great movie and not just because she is in it, although she does boost it several notches.

  5. Older is better. She’s (and others her age) are better looking than 99 percent of the women in their 20s and 30s.

    One of the few younger ladies that is attractive is Selena Gomez

    For someone Laura’s age (cuz brunettes are better) – Jacqueline Obradors Check her out if you haven’t. I used to watch her on NYPD Blue. She’s a knockout.

  6. She never caught on with me. She’s attractive enough, but then she opens her mouth and words come out…and its so God-awful that it ruins everything else.
