Piper Laurie, a respected actress with three Oscar nominations, an Emmy Award, and eight other Emmy nominations, died on Oct. 14 at a nursing facility in Los Angeles. She was 91.

Moviegoers will recall her performances in “The Hustler,” “Carrie,” and “Children of a Lesser God.” She won an Emmy for “Promise,” a CBS movie about schizophrenia.

When asked in a 2011 interview with the Archive of American Television what acting advice she would offer, Ms. Laurie said that her childhood shyness may have helped her “learn to listen, really, deeply, fully.”
