Laura Derns College Forced Her to Drop Out Over David Lynch’s Blue Velvet

I was thrilled about starting my college journey at UCLA, majoring in psychology with a minor in journalism. But little did I know, fate had other plans for me. A few days into my freshman year, I received an unexpected offer: a role in David Lynch’s film “Blue Velvet.” I was over the moon about it and asked for a leave of absence from UCLA to focus on this opportunity. Sadly, they wouldn’t grant it, leaving me no choice but to abandon my college experience at that moment. Now, as I reflect on this during a heartfelt chat with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson on their podcast “Where Everybody Knows Your Name,” I can’t help but feel a bittersweet nostalgia for what could have been – had I not followed my dreams and embraced the twists and turns life threw at me.
