Have you ever seen such elegance atop a chair? Or a couch? Or even the floor?

Photo: Suzanne Tenner/©Showtime Networks Inc./Courtesy Everett Collection Laura Dern doesn’t need me to defend, or even recognize, her talent as an actress. Her long list of accolades, from Golden Globe wins to Oscar noms, speak for themselves. But it is my duty, and mine alone, to bring attention to another one of her skills that has been glaringly — and bizarrely — ignored by the mainstream media and award shows alike: sitting.

If you aren’t yet fully convinced, look at pretty much any photo of her sitting.
That elegant sideways tilt! Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images One could make the argument that Dern is also good at standing, a position in which her poise is just as admirable. But it’s much easier to keep your shoulders back when you’re on your feet; when sitting, you have to consciously stop yourself from hunching forward to rest your arms on whatever’s nearby. But Dern doesn’t falter.
Imagine sitting up that straight without any back support. Photo: Anthony Barboza/Getty Images After a bit of cursory research, I believe I have found the source of Dern’s exceptional posture. In November 1999, the actress told Redbook Magazine that at the age of nine, she was diagnosed with an extreme case of scoliosis, and that all the doctors she saw told her that for her back to heal, she would have to commit teenage social suicide .

And I — a slouchy human who does not look good sitting — haven’t even been able to bring myself to buy one of those techy posture straighteners or start doing dedicated exercises. In 2020, may I be inspired by my sitting icon.
