I've already listed five of my favorite performances of hers on a previous birthday, but honestly I could probably go ahead and list five more because everything Laura Dern touches is golden. Since I made that list in 2009 she's turned out magic with Enlightened, Wild, The Master and 99 Homes, all of which are top tier Dern. Hell her performance in Enlightened when it comes down to it will probably end up being the Definitive Dern. She's a marvel and a wonder.
