Samantha Bee | Honest Conversations or Family Secrets: Laura Dern and Diane Ladd | Choice Words with Samantha Bee @RealSamBee | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 23 hours ago.
When Laura Dern found out that her mother, Diane Ladd, had scarring on her lungs, the doctor told her to be gentle with her mom because she’d be dead in 6 months. Laura chose to challenge that diagnosis by taking her mother on regular walks to expand her lung capacity. Not only did it work, but it turned into a new book co-written by the two award-winning actresses. Sam asks the mother-daughter duo how those walks saved Diane’s life and what family stories and secrets were uncovered during those strolls.

Apple Books has teamed up with Lemonada Media for an audiobook club. The June pick is Honey, Baby, Mine: A Mother and Daughter Talk Life, Death, Love (and Banana Pudding) by actress and activist Laura Dern, and her mother, legendary actress Diane Ladd.
