PIPER LAURIE, who has
returned to Hollywood after an
absence of 15 years, waa
nominated for an Academy
Award aa Best Actress in a sup
porting role for her performance
in United Artist's “Carrie.” On
the screen, Piper portrays
Margaret White, the fanatically
religious mother of Carrie (por
trayed by Sissy Spaeelt, Oscar-
con tender in the Best Actress
category) who not only tried to
keep her teenaged daughter ig
norant of the facts of life, but
tries to instill in the girl a crip
pling sense of guilt and sin.
It is Piper Laurie’s first
theatrical motion picture since
her appearance with Paul New
man in “The Hustler” in 1961.
Though she has placed her
writer-husband, Joseph
Morgenstern, a former film
critic for the New York Herald
Tribune, and their six-year-old
daughter ahead of a career, she
has taken time out for occasional
acting appearances.
Piper Laurie was born Rosetta
Jacobs in Detroit and moved
with her family at the age of six
to Los Angeles where her father,
Alfted Jacobs, owned a down
town furniture store. As a
teenager enrolled in a drama
school she was signed to a long
term •* contract by Universal
Studios, simultaneously with*
Tony Curtis with whom she co-
starred in several films — most
notably, “The Prince Who Was
A Thief.” At that timelier name
? whs- thmigsdjtb Piper Laurie. In
quick succession, she was seen
starring opposite such screen
heroes as : Curtis, Tyrone Power,
Rock Hudson, Van Johnson, Vic
tor Mature end Dana Andrews.
Through television, millions
became aequainted—mth the
j “new” Piper who had ‘changed
; her image from the sweet young
| thiog;te?a dramatic actress. She
received tw©< Emraiy
nominations for ‘The Road that
Led Afar” and for the TV ver
sion of “The Days of Wine and
Roees."
When the late producer-
director Robert Rossen saw her
in a New York Actors Studio
presentation of Rosemary,” he
signed Piper Laurie for “The
Hustler/ just prior
marriage and the long
from the'screen.
LEE GRANT is the second
Jewish gal to gamer an “Oscar”
nomination for Rest Actress in a
supporting part R is for the role
of Lillian Rosen, wife of a lawyer
disbSmdby the Nasis mRober*
Rryer’it
Damned,’
Rosenberg. This is actually not a
supporting role but one that
stands out all by itself in
dramatic intensity.
Lee was born in New York Ci
ty. Her mother was a model with
theatrical ambitions for the
daughter who at the age of four
made her debut at the
Metropolitan Opera playing the
abducted little princess in
“L’Orocolo.” She attended
Juilliard School of Music and
subsequently, on a scholarship,
the Neighborhood Playhouse.
Her big break came when, in
her late ’teens, she was cast as
the pathetic shoplifter in Sidney
Kingsley’s play, “Detective
Story.” She was summoned to
Hollywood to recreate the same
character in the 1951 William
Wyler film version. Her screen
debut brought her an Academy
Award nomination and a Best
Actress citation at the Cannes
Film Festival.
The young actress returned to
New York where she starred in
“Arms and the Man,” “All You
Need Is One Good Break,” “Lo
and Behold,” “Wedding
Breakfast,” “Hole in the Head,”
“Two for the See-Saw” and
“Captains and Kings.” She won
an Obie award for her role in
Genet’s “The Maids.” For the
N.Y. Shakespeare Festival she
portrayed “Eleetra”; for BBC
television in London she appear
ed in The Respectful Prostitute.”
Back in Hollywood m 1966,
she played the continuing role of
Stella Chernkk in “Peyton
Place” for which she won an Em
my. Among her movies have
been “Divorce American Style,”
“Buena Sera, Mrs. Campbell,”
“In the Heat of the Night,”
“Plaza Suite,” “Marooned,” and
“There was a Crooked Man.” She
won the award for “The Neon
Ceiling” and a subsequent
nomination in the series “Fay.”
Many of her screen characters
have been Jewish such as the one
in “Portnoy’s Complaint” and
“Shampoo” (the latter for which
she won an Academy Award).
