a night when "he took me and touched me; I tried to fight". In the finale, Margaret meets Carrie on a shining white staircase descending from above, where she first comforts and then stabs her. Carrie then uses her powers to kill Margaret before crawling to the bottom of the staircase and dying herself. Buckley recorded the song "When There's No One" for her 1999 album Betty Buckley's Broadway. Marin Mazzie portrayed Margaret in the revised 2012 Off-Broadway revival of the show, where Margaret's death scene was restaged to be more in line with the original novel's version of events. 2002 television film In the 2002 made-for-TV adaptation, Margaret is portrayed by Patricia Clarkson. She has a calmer disposition than the 1976 version and her past is only briefly hinted at; the film begins with her giving birth to Carrie in bed at home. Her husband isn't mentioned. On prom night, Margaret tries once again to persuade Carrie not to attend, but is sent sliding out the door by Carrie's powers; Carrie warns her to "watch your fingers", preventing her from being harmed physically when the door slams shut. Margaret sneaks out of the closet and spies on her daughter as she leaves in a limo with Tommy, heading for the prom. Following Carrie's return from the massacre, Margaret steps into the bathroom while Carrie is still in the bathtub washing off the pigs' blood. She calls Carrie a witch for destroying the town and tries to drown her in the bathtub while reciting the "bedtime prayer". Carrie then kills Margaret by causing her heart to stop. 2013 film Julianne Moore played Margaret in the 2013 adaptation of the novel. This version of the character is a mix of the 1976, 1988, and 2002 portrayals on account of being extremely abusive, complex and sympathetic, and having a calm demeanor respectively. While it closely resembles Piper Laurie's interpretation in evidence of the character dressing in black, Moore's portrayal of Margaret has her showing genuine love for Carrie and being the proprietor of a tailoring business. The 2013 Margaret also takes her self-harm to a new extreme, breaking her skin using sharp objects and scratching herself until she bleeds. As in the 1976 film, Margaret is pinned to the wall with various objects after she attempts to kill her daughter.
