I hate it when old favored actors and actresses die. I remember them when young and vigorous. Old age sucks as I have found out too well. Death as well.

Good actress who realized her talent did not include Political Science.

Laurie was one of the bigger reasons why Twin Peaks was so good. The “Japanese actor” stunt was incredible. I doubt it could be done today.

In the first season finale, Catherine is at the mill when it burns down. She's presumed dead. Some episodes into the second season a mysterious Japanese businessman arrives in Twin Peaks to finagle with local tycoon Benjamin Horne (who Catherine had been having an affair with). They share several scenes together over the next few episodes.
Ben had no idea it was Catherine. Piper Laurie did REALLY good convincing the cast and crew that she was a respected Japanese actor.
It was a hella shock when she revealed herself to husband Pete.

"Twin Peaks" (the original TV show from 1990) was one of the freakiest TV shows I have ever seen. It really spooked me at the time. Especially the scenes where the dwarf dances across the zig-zag floor.
It was a groundbreaking series that broke the mold of the stupid sitcoms and formula action/drama shows that dominated TV up to that time.

I saw Piper Laurie a week or so before Christmas, 1952 in a USO show at Division Headquarters in Korea. A group of us was sent back for the show. She experienced some of what war is about as artillery fire could easily be heard and explosions lit up the horizon. It was a good show with Christmas music. Just seeing a beautiful woman was a real treat for a bunch of GI’s who hadn’t seen a woman in a while.

I remember the film she made with Mel Gibson, it was called Tim, and she was great in it and so what if she had a fling with him. Burt Reynolds dated Dinah Shore! Big Deal!
She was a great actress and I liked her a great deal. She was also in Tyrone Power film I think in the mid 1950’s.
