The Hustler and Carrie actor Piper Laurie, who was thrice nominated for an Oscar, has died aged 91.
She died early on Saturday at her Los Angeles home, with her manager Marion Rosenberg giving the cause as old age.Laurie arrived in Hollywood in 1949 as Rosetta Jacobs and was quickly given a contract with Universal-International, a new name that she hated and a string of starring roles with Ronald Reagan, Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis, among others.
Laurie made her debut at 17 in Louisa, playing Reagan’s daughter, then appeared opposite Francis the talking mule in Francis Goes To The Races. She moved to New York, where she found the roles she was seeking in theatre and live television drama. "I was disenchanted and looking for an existence more meaningful for me," she recalled, adding that she never regretted the move.Laurie also became noted as a baker, with her recipes appearing in The New York Times.
