Summary

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. Follow Laura Dern @LauraDern on Twitter and Instagram. Follow Diane Ladd @Diane_Ladd on Twitter and @rosedianeladd on Instagram. Keep up with Samantha Bee @realsambee on Instagram and Twitter.
