    Rosetta Jacobs was Piper Laurie;s real name. Piper began her career as a contract player with Universal International in the late 40's/early 50's. Most of these films were quickies churned out by Universal International to keep their contract players busy. While they trained in voice, singing, dancing, fencing and horseback riding, they were cast in films on the side. Piper Laurie played in every genre of film that was made at Universal that included Westerns, comedies, car racing, and swashbuckling roles. These films included The prince who was a thief, Son of Ali Baba, The Golden Blade, Has anybody seen my gal, Smoke Signal, Ain't Misbehavin and Johnny Dark, to name a few. The studio was really good for Piper's career. But Piper got browned off with light breezy roles and was eager to dig her heels into something strong and dramatic. This occurred when she left the studio to free lance and was cast in the film The Hustler with Paul Newman. Critics raved about her performance which led to an Oscar nomination. She was also most convincing in Until they sail with a huge case that comprised Jean Simmons, Paul Newman, Joan Fontaine and Sandra Dee. Piper continued to act in films and her star shone bright in Carrie, Twin Peaks and a host of TV segments, where the content brought out the best of her wide-ranged talent.
