"Piper Laurie is one of the few career gals in Hollywood who lives with her
family. Many girls seem to feel that living at home and getting ahead do not go hand
in hand- but not Piper. Piper's career is booming (she's in U-I's Johnie Dark)
and her social life is envied (her latest is Dick Contino). So Piper is indeed one
gal who live at home- and likes it."
