I'm glad the character of Margaret White has been given this much attention and even understanding. She had so little guidance and didn't plan to become the person she eventually did become. I know this will sound odd but my recollection is that Piper Laurie said somewhere that when she portrayed Margaret White, she played Carrie's mother as a comic character, maybe because Margaret was so extreme. Whatever Ms. Laurie's opinion was of Margaret White, she gave a performance worthy of an Oscar nomination.
