- <p> "I thought of her as Marilyn Monroe with a touch of Lucille
- Ball--a gum-snapping sex bunny." That's Laura Dern, 23,
- discussing Lula Pace Fortune, the role she plays in David
- Lynch's latest reality bender, Wild at Heart. Best known for
- her portrayals of innocent adolescents in Mask and Blue Velvet,
- Dern had little trouble adjusting to Lula's reckless eroticism.
- In fact, she found the part instructive. "The archetypes of
- women are the madonna and the whore. We're all like that, but
- we repress one side or the other," she said. "I got to know
- myself better on this film."
