SISSY SPACEK

Sissy Spacek is a timeless actress. She started her career in the ‘70s, as an extra and model for Andy Warhol’s Factory and Trash. To further hone her skills, Spacek also took time to study drama before gaining projects for Prime Cut and The Waltons. The role that made her reach ultimate stardom was in 1976 for Carrie in the film of the same name. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her acting. It was a start of an era where the actress reaped major awards, including an Oscar as Best Actress for Coal Miner’s Daughter.

Now at 71, Spacek is not someone to just rely on her investment money and retire. In her Rolling Stone interview, the veteran actress is having a real good time acting even when she is ageing. She loves the creative process as much as she likes working with different kinds of people in the industry. Spacek’s latest acting project was with Robert Redford for The Old Man and the Gun.
