Wild was filmed in the town where Strayed, whose memoir became a national sensation in 2012 when Oprah Winfrey chose it as the inaugural selection for her “Oprah’s Book Club 2.0,” currently lives, and as such the writer was on set nearly every day of filming. Now I feel like my daughter has gotten to know her grandmother through you…’ I’m crying again. For Cheryl to say to me, ‘You know when I lost my mother, one of my first thoughts was that she’ll never meet my children. “I’m getting choked up already,” Dern says.

It’s when discussing the latter point that Dern starts crying.
