Oscar Nominated ‘Carrie’ Actress Piper Laurie Has Passed Away

Bloody Disgusting has learned the sad news tonight that three-time Academy Award nominated acting legend Piper Laurie has passed away. The actress was 91 years old.

Los Angeles Times reports, “Still acting until late in life, Piper Laurie died Saturday morning in Los Angeles, her manager confirmed. An exact cause of death was not given.”

One of the films that earned Piper Laurie an Oscar nomination was Brian De Palma’s Carrie, the iconic 1976 adaptation of Stephen King’s horror novel. Laurie played Margaret White in the film, the mother of lead character Carrie White and the true villain of the horror classic.

Piper Laurie was also nominated for Academy Awards before and after her role in Carrie, first for The Hustler in 1962 and then later for Children of a Lesser God in 1987.

Horror fans will also remember Piper Laurie for her roles in “Twin Peaks” and the 1998 movie The Faculty, as well as the films Ruby (1977), Return to Oz (1985), and Trauma (1993).

Laurie’s career spanned an incredible six decades, and she won a Primetime Emmy in 1987 for the TV movie Promise. She was also nominated for an additional eight Primetime Emmys for projects including “The Bunker,” “St. Elsewhere,” “Twin Peaks,” and “Frasier.”

Piper Laurie is survived by her daughter, Anna Grace Morgenstern.
