As Margaret in Carrie, Hollywood icon Piper Laurie subverted the horror genre, changing villains forever.
The Big Picture With Piper Laurie's passing on October 14th, 2023, Hollywood mourns an icon. Born Rosetta Jacobs, Piper Laurie, as we came to know her once she changed her name after signing a contract with Universal Studios at the age of 18, was a fine actress who withstood the test of time making us a part of her impeccable acting career for more than half a century.
On the other hand, Carrie White, the daughter Margaret tortures, is just another teenager growing up, except for her new-found telekinetic powers, which are slowly but surely becoming her defense when attacked or ridiculed. Brought up with her mother's fundamentalism, Carrie has no clue how to make friends, or even about her own body. She panics when she experiences her first period thinking something is terribly wrong with her.
In the novel, Margaret starts attending fundamentalist classes after her father is killed in a gun battle and soon becomes a Christian fundamentalist. Rarely in the film do you want Margaret to end up dead until she finally attacks Carrie believing that she is saving her for "eternal bliss." In her twisted love – with which she wants her daughter to remain "pure and innocent" for the greater good beyond, Margaret herself confesses to having sinned and regrets liking it.
