Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern, stars of the series Big Little Lies directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, are among several Hollywood celebrities who have made financial contributions to the memorial fund in honor of the Quebec director who died tragically on December 25, 2021.

Hollywood stars @ReeseW, @McConaughey, @LauraDern and more help fund an award in the late Jean-Marc Vallée’s name.

The Director’s Memorial Fund was created by Concordia University to provide an annual scholarship to students of the Mel Hoppenheim School of Film, and has been taken over by Hollywood, as many celebrities have made a donation in the director’s honor.

In addition to several actors from Big Little Lies, Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner from Dallas Buyers Club, a film also directed by Vallée, have reportedly contributed to the fund in memory of the director.

While the amounts of the donations seem confidential, it’s certainly a nice gesture from these stars that shows the director was appreciated by many…

We have to say that we miss Jean-Marc Vallée a lot, such a unique talent.
