"I ask the universe that these three stars right here - when I'm dead and gone or if I'm still alive - that whoever comes and looks at it or stands on it, may the energy of the three of our lives permeate into their foundation and help each and every one fulfill their destiny with joy and love, as I wish for you," Diane told the crowd when she accepted he star. The acting dynasty (Diane Ladd, Laura Dern and Bruce Dern) was honored Monday (Nov 1, 2010) during a ceremony on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking the first time that three stars were dedicated to family members at the same time.
     The family made Hollywood history before, when Laura Dern and Ladd received Oscar nominations in 1992 for their roles in “Rambling Rose.”
 That marked the first time that a mother and daughter received nods together. The family trio, Hollywood ace actress Laura Dern, her father Bruce Dern and mother Diane Ladd were honored at Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday at landmark in front of the W Hotel. The three Academy Award-nominated actors marked the history in Hollywood where all members from one family received the stars. Laura Dern, Bruce Dern and Diane Ladd honored with the 2,419th, 2,420th and 2,421st stars respectively.
     Diane Ladd just completed shooting the first season of her series with her daughter, Laura Dern, "Enlightened" that also stars Luke Wilson for HBO. The series stars Dern as Amy, a self-destructive woman who after a meltdown has a spiritual awakening and becomes determined to live an enlightened life, creating havoc at home and work. Wilson plays Amy’s drug-addicted ex-husband and Diane Ladd is playing the role of Amy’s mother, which seems fitting as she’s Laura Dern’s real-life mother. Series will air on HBO.
    Three-time Academy Award nominee, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Wild At Heart, and Rambling Rose, Ladd is a winner of over 23  international awards including the British Academy Award (BAFTA), the Spirit Award, and a Golden Globe.  She is also a three-time Emmy nominee, recently awarded the Susan B. Anthony "Failure is Impossible" Award at the High Falls Film Festival.
