Laura Dern Says Creators Need to ‘Catch Up’ With Audience’s Desire for Diverse Stories

CES panel explores creativity, technology and culture

Fresh off her powerful acceptance speech at the Golden Globes for her role as Renata Klein in HBO’s hit Big Little Lies and her part as a leading character in the new Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Laura Dern wants to play more complex and culturally relevant characters, which is something she says audiences desire.

During a panel hosted by Omnicom Media Group at the Consumer Electronics Show last week, Dern and Beth Altringer, Ph.D, founder and director of Harvard’s Desirability Lab, talked about the role that technology and innovation plays in Hollywood and filmmaking.
