Movieline Photo Spread, July, 1954

Piper's Place- "Most career girls want to leave home, but not Piper Laurie-- she lives at home-- and what's more-she likes it!"

Photo 1 shows her at the piano, subtitle reads "Piano in living room of home Piper shares with her parents is a family favorite." Photo 2 shows her with her hand on a teacup collection, subtitle reads "Teacup collection is good conversation piece though pert Piper is one gal who is never at a loss for lots to talk about. Photo 3- PL hold a straw bag- Caption- "Gay, straw bags, sent to Piper by pals in Korea, remind her of exciting trip she took there to entertain soldiers." Photo 4- Another shot of PL in the room- Caption "Entertaining is chore Piper loves. She prefers to give small parties in her home." Photo 5- Outside shot of PL in the garden- Caption "Backyard boasts lovely garden and a picnic area. Piper, who paints well, often used the yard as her subject. Photo 6- Outdoor shot- Caption- "Because of tight family ties and her not one, not two but three dogs, Piper's home hours are happy- Bottom photo shows her with two dogs- Final caption: "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."
