Piper Laurie

Piper Laurie (born Rosetta Jacobs; January 22, 1932) is an American actress of stage and screen best known for her roles in the television series Twin Peaks and the films The HustlerCarrie, and Children of a Lesser God, all of which brought her Academy Award nominations. In 1991, she won a Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of Catherine Martell in Twin Peaks.In 1949, Rosetta Jacobs signed a contract with Universal Studios, in which her screen name was changed to Piper Laurie, by which she has been known professionally since then. Her breakout role was in Louisa, with Ronald Reagan (whom she dated a few times before his marriage to Nancy Davis). Several other roles followed: Francis Goes to the Races (1951, co-starring Donald O'Connor); Son of Ali Baba (1952, co-starring Tony Curtis); and Ain't Misbehavin' (1955, co-starring Rory Calhoun).In an attempt to enhance her public image, Universal Studios told gossip columnists that Laurie bathed in milk and ate flower petals, to protect her luminous skin. Discouraged by such vapidity and by the lack of substantial roles,  she relocated to New York City to study acting and to seek work on the stage and in television. She appeared in Twelfth Night, produced by Hallmark Hall of Fame; inDays of Wine and Roses with Cliff Robertson, presented by Playhouse 90 on 2 October 1958; in Winterset, presented by Playhouse 90 in 1959.She was again lured to Hollywood by the offer to co-star with Paul Newman in The Hustler, which was released in 1961. She played Newman's crippled girlfriend, Sarah Packard, and for her performance she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress.Substantial movie roles did not come her way after The Hustler, so she and her husband moved to New York State. However, she was offered, and accepted, the role of Margaret White, the authoritarian and fanatically religious mother of Carrie, in the movie of that name which was released in 1976. She received an Oscar nomination (Best Female Supporting Actor) for that role.After her 1981 divorce, Laurie relocated to California. In 1986, she received a third Oscar nomination for her portrayal of Mrs. Norman in Children of a Lesser God. That same year she was awarded anEmmy for her performance in Promise, a Hallmark Hall of Fame television movie which also starred James Garner and James Woods.In 1965, she starred in a Broadway revival of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie opposite Maureen Stapleton, Pat Hingle and George Grizzard. She had a featured role in the Off-Broadwayproduction of The Destiny of Me in 1992, and returned to Broadway for Lincoln Center's acclaimed 2002 revival of Paul Osborn's Morning's at Seven with Julie Hagerty, Buck Henry, Frances Sternhagenand Estelle Parsons.In 1964, Laurie appeared in two medical dramas, as Alicia Carter in the episode "My Door Is Locked and Bolted" on the NBC series The Eleventh Hour and as Alice Marin in the episode "The Summer House" on the ABC program Breaking Point.Laurie appeared in the Australian film Tim (1979) opposite Mel Gibson. She starred as the devious Catherine Martell in David Lynch's television series Twin Peaks. Following the character's supposed death in a mill fire at the end of the first season, the actress (under heavy makeup) returned as "Fumio Yamaguchi," playing the mysterious Mr. Tojamura, who would eventually be revealed to be Catherine Martell in disguise. She also appeared in 1991's Other People's Money with Gregory Peck and in horror maestro Dario Argento's first American film Trauma, along with the director's daughterAsia Argento.Laurie portrayed the mother of George Clooney's character on ER. In 1998, she appeared in the sci-fi thriller The Faculty. She later made a series of guest appearances on television shows includingMatlockFrasierState of GraceWill & GraceCold Case, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She returned to the big screen for independent films such as Eulogy and The Dead Girl.She has appeared in over 50 movies and scores of television shows.
