Happy 86th Birthday Piper Laurie!!! 
Born on January 22, 1932 in Detroit, Michigan
Thanks for everything, so far...
One could say that she's had two careers, first as a contract star at Universal Pictures, and with the exception of The Hustler 1961, has returned since 1976 horror movie Carrie, as a celebrated and respected character actress.
To enhance her image, Universal Studios told gossip columnists that Laurie bathed in milk and ate flower petals to protect her luminous skin. Discouraged by the lack of substantial film roles, she moved to New York to study acting and to seek work on the stage and in television.
The Prince Who was a Thief 1951
With Paul Newman in a promo pic for The Hustler 1961, a role that earnerd her a Oscar nomination.
With Sissy Spacek in Carrie 1976, a role that earned her another Oscar nomination.
Children of a Lesser God 1986, earning her third Oscar nomination.
Twin Peaks 1990 - 1991 TV-series, that gave her a Golden Globe
