Interview: Sissy Spacek Remembers Making Carrie

Actress Sissy Spacek remembers her breakthrough role in Brian De Palma’s 1976 chiller Carrie Over forty years ago a landmark horror film gave hope to alienated and marginalized youth everywhere. They were finally given a character who after being pushed too far by horrendous bullying and oppressive nastiness got her revenge; and it tasted sweet… It was the very first film adaptation (and possibly the best) of one of horrors’ most prolific writers Stephen King (who celebrates his 70th birthday today), it had a visual style that was unique and beautifully executed, it’s writing was smooth and sharp, the film’s director was an auteur who was always prepared and the performances of it’s cast were nothing short of absolute perfection; headed by one of the most important actresses of the era; her name – Sissy Spacek. Playing the titular role in Brian De Palma’s opus Carrie Sissy Spacek has had and continues to have an amazing career; a filmography that includes some of the most interesting, beautifully crafted and emotionally harrowing works that all wholeheartedly benefit by her extraordinary talents as one of the most raw and versatile actress to come out of that excitingly fresh and innovative period in Hollywood called the ’70s. ComingSoon.net: Carrie White is a beautiful creation.
