Piper is less aware of her surroundings than her activities. She spends a good dealoftime in the baking bread which is both therapy and creative for the redhaired actress. She’s good at cooking Chinese dishes, no small thanks to a Chinese housekeeper of a couple of years. She also likes to improvise with such itemsas steamed Chinese breadfilled with pork or chicken. When Piper’s not working in the new NBCseries or baking, she more than likely can be found in the yard with chisel and hammer chipping away at out-sized hunks of marble. Piper is an accomplished sculptress specializing in abstract designs. Her current project weighs 400 pounds “I’m a serious stonecarver,”she likes to say. “T take it as seriously as 1 do acting.” On working days Piper must get out of bed at 4 a.m. to wash and straighten her hair. It is curlyto the pointof being frizzy and fluffy. She was told her natural hairdo makesher look too young for her role in ‘‘Skag.”” So sherises early to get her hair in order and report to MGM studios — about a 10-minute drive away — for makeup and wardrobe. Like most actresses, Piper watches her diet. She breakfasts at home on a piece of cold chicken, half an orange and coffee. Her lunch consists of a couple of hard-boiled eggs with celery and carrotsticks. Weekends are for rest and recreation, seeing movies, jogging and occasional sorties to the beach, although Piper’s Titian coloring necessitates a broad-brimmed sunhatto discourage sunburn and freckles. Clothes don't concern Piper. She wears jeans and blouses most of the time and considers comfort first when she goes shopping. |
