Diane Ladd

Had two daughters with ex-husband Bruce Dern. Her first daughter, Diane Elizabeth Dern was born on November 27, 1960, tragically died at the age of 17 1/2 months after accidentally falling into the family pool and hitting her head causing a massive brain hemorrhage, years before second daughter, Laura Dern, was born in 1967.

[on Jean Seberg during the making of Macho Callahan (1970)] She was terribly sensitive, almost like a little girl. We shot in a village outside Mexico City one day, and they set up tables for the cast and crew to eat. These skinny dogs wandered over, and Jean started to feed them off her plate. Someone snapped that you don't do that - not when there were people going hungry. Jean looked awfully hurt and didn't eat for two days after that. I personally considered her a great lady and a wonderful human being. A lady of sensitive, thought-out, careful choice and depth, and select caring.
