Dern told ELLE earlier this year that family has been a source of comfort for her throughout the pandemic. Amy Sussman/Getty Images "Family — I think for all of us. Sharing the privilege of what seem like the little moments, cooking a meal with my kids, learning to cook together, sharing stories," she said. "My Mom had pneumonia and specifically was high-risk in terms of her lungs. So, being so protective of her, it was a very locked-down time, like so many of us with a high-risk family member." "Watching how my children rallied in being so protective of her was really gorgeous, and watching movies and taking care of each other," added the Big Little Lies star. Close
