Piper Laurie, three-time Oscar-nominated actress, has passed away aged 91.
Her most memorable movie roles imo are her moving performance in The Hustler and her mother from hell in Carrie. She also had a notable role in Twin Peaks.
Just a few days ago I rewatched the Frasier episode in which Laurie plays the mother of Christine Baranski’s radio shrink. Laurie is only in the final scene, but she is hilarious in the episode. A fine actress indeed. R.I.P.

I've always liked her a lot. A couple of the things I especially recall Miss Laurie in are Carrie (1976) and The Thorn Birds (1983).
RIP.

Although I have seen her in many things, Twin Peaks is what stands out to me.

And her creepy character in this episode of 'Law & Order: SVU'.

I watched I'm not sure whether all or most of the original (1990-1991, 2 seasons) Twin Peaks series, but somehow don't at all recall Miss Laurie in it.
