Hadn't thought of her in years until I saw a blurb "Piper Laurie: Hollywood Forgot" or something. She's known for Margaret White but really was she known for much else? I remember her doing a Frasier episode, she was funny as hell, and I just saw her in the inimitable Tim, staple of early HBO and on constant rotation

The Hustler, with Paul Newman. She looked great and was great in it.
Children of a Lesser God. Same.

She claimed in her autobiography that Reagan raped her (no consent) during the filming of LOUISA (50). She was 18, he was 39 ("father age").

She was a hoot. Got to meet her a few times. I asked her if she was coming back in the Twin Peaks" reboot and said no. I asked why and she said "They didn't ask me". I have "Carrie" DVD and "The Hustler" Steelbook signed.

Good for you, R7! She always struck me as a nice person.

I first saw her in a Tyrone Power movie The Mississippi Gambler when they were making her an ingenue.
