Piper Laurie, born Rosetta Jacobs, died today.\u00a0 Ms. Laurie was 91.<\/p>\n

In 1949, Piper Laurie was awarded a contract with Universal Studios.\u00a0 She changed her name to Piper Laurie and used it from then on.\u00a0 Throughout her career Piper Laurie acted on television, feature films and on stage.<\/p>\n

Ms. Laurie was nominated for three Academy Awards<\/em>: 1962 – Best Actress in a Leading Role for The Hustler<\/em>; 1976 – Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Carrie<\/em>; 1987 – Best Actress in a Supporting Role – Children of a Lesser God<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Piper Laurie was nominated for nine Primetime Emmy Awards, winning in 1987 for her role in Promise<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Some of Piper Laurie’s television appearances include: The Best of Broadway; Studio One; Playhouse 90<\/em> (2 episodes); Play of the Week; General Electric Theater<\/em> (3 episodes); Naked City; The United States Steel Hour<\/em> (2 episodes); Ben Casey; Skag<\/em> (6 episodes); The Thorn Birds<\/em> (3 episodes); St. Elsewhere<\/em> (3 episodes); Hotel; Murder She Wrote; The Twilight Zone<\/em> (2 episodes); Matlock; Beauty and the Beast; Twin Peaks<\/em> (27 episodes); ER<\/em> (2 episodes); Diagnosis Murder; Touched by an Angel; Frasier<\/em> (2 episodes); Will & Grace; Law & Order: Special Victims Unit<\/em> and MacGuyver.<\/em><\/p>\n

I first became aware of Piper Laurie in Carrie<\/em>. For that role she earned a well deserved Academy Award nomination. A few years later I saw her in another Academy Award nominated performance in The Hustler<\/em>.\u00a0 That’s probably my favorite Piper Laurie performance, but I always enjoyed seeing her name in the credits for any production.<\/p>\n
