Piper Laurie had stepped away from acting for many years when director Brian De Palma called her about playing the deranged mother of Sissy Spacek in 'Carrie.'
Piper Laurie, the strong-willed, Oscar-nominated actor who performed in acclaimed roles despite at one point abandoning acting altogether in search of a 'more meaningful' life, died Saturday at the age of 91.Her manager, Marion Rosenberg, confirmed the death to CBS News. 'She was a superb talent and a wonderful human being,' Rosenberg said in an emailed statement. The exact cause and location of her death was not immediately confirmed.
Performances in 'Days of Wine and Roses,' 'The Deaf Heart' and 'The Road That Led After' brought her Emmy nominations and paved the way for a return to films, including in an acclaimed role as Paul Newman's troubled girlfriend in 'The Hustler.'For many years after, Laurie turned her back on acting. She married film critic Joseph Morgenstern, welcomed a daughter, Ann Grace, and moved to a farmhouse in Woodstock, New York.
