Piper Laurie | A Career Retrospective 

Actress Piper Laurie was a Hollywood icon and legend, starring in films like The Hustler, Children of a Lesser God, and the original two seasons of Twin Peaks. But she is probably best remembered for her role as Margaret White in Brian De Palma's 1976 adaptation of Carrie, alongside Sissy Spacek.
This never-before-seen interview with Piper was recorded in 2021, right around the 45th anniversary of Carrie. Although intended to be included in a future episode of the series, we wanted to release the full conversation now, in honor of her recent passing (October 14, 2021, at the age of 91).
Her memoir, Learning to Live Out Loud, was published in 2011 and is widely available -- please consider supporting independent bookstores.
