Actress Bridged Golden Age and New Age

 

Actress Piper Laurie has passed at 91. This talented star began her career in the late 1940s and ranged through 2018 with numerous stage, film, and TV work including Oscar nominated roles in The Hustler, Carrie, and Children of a Lesser God. She was nominated nine times for Emmy Awards and won once for Promises. Her credits included ER, The Thorn Birds, Will and Grace, Frasier, and memorable turns in the great Twin Peaks. I was fortunate to meet her at the 2014 MidAtlantic Nostalgia Convention. She was a classy woman.
