Angela Bassett & Laura Dern Reflect On Their #MeToo Moment

FirstLadyB | B Inspired By Entertainment News

Actresses, Angela Bassett and Laura Dern are featured in Variety’s ‘Actors on Actors’ series.  In the series the ladies reflect on their #MeToo moment that happened early on in their careers.

“I remember years later I tried to bring it up to my mother, and she was like, ‘I don’t want to talk about that,’” Bassett said. “As a grown woman, I thought she was strong in that moment because she took a stand for me and made sure it never happened again. But I think as a mother, now that I put myself in her shoes, it would have been such a moment of personal shame.”

“That moment that I thought was fine which absolutely wasn’t fine; that moment where I thought, ‘Oh this is generational and that’s how people talk,’ or ‘I guess that’s how men should treat me,’” Dern said. “I just replayed my whole childhood — because I started acting at 11 — back to myself, and it was shocking.”
