About

Laura Dern, a 59-year-old Oscar-winning actress, is currently newsworthy due to her upcoming role in a limited series about the Jeffrey Epstein case. The series, executive produced by Adam McKay, will be based on the investigative work of journalist Julie K. Brown, specifically her book 'Perversion of Justice.' Dern will portray Brown, the Miami Herald reporter who exposed the Epstein scandal. This marks the first scripted adaptation of the Epstein case. Additionally, there are reports of a potential third season of 'Big Little Lies' being developed, where Dern is expected to reprise her role if the show follows the plot of the new book. Dern has also recently reflected on her past roles and how her view of sexuality has evolved, stating that "vulnerability is sensual."
