The 50-year-old actress was honored at the annual gala holiday luncheon celebrating the vision and achievements of women who work in the entertainment industry.
That same evening, Laura made her way to the NBC Studios to make an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where she talked about having so many strong female leads in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
