She had a supporting role in Roman Polański 's 1974 film '' Chinatown '', and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress In A Supporting Role for her role as Flo in the film '' Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore ''. That film inspired the TV series '' Alice '' in which Flo was portrayed by Polly Holliday. When Holliday left ''Alice'', Ladd was cast in the show as Flo's replacement, waitress Isabelle "Belle" Dupree. Despite her success in the film version, Ladd's role in the television spinoff proved unpopular with viewers of the series and she appeared for only the 1980-1981 season. In 2004 , Ladd played Psychic Mrs. Druse in Stephen King 's Miniseries '' Kingdom Hospital ''. Ladd was formerly married to Bruce Dern and is the mother of film actress Laura Dern , with whom she co-starred in the films '' Wild At Heart '' and '' Rambling Rose ''. Ladd is now married to Robert Charles Hunter. EXTERNAL LINKS |
