Sissy Spacek then
In her early days, Sissy Spacek aspired to become a singer. Not many people know that, but she’s even released a single titled “John You Went Too Far This Time”, which was, to put it nicely, a failure. Spacek eventually realized this wasn’t her true calling and switched her focus to acting.
She embarked on her acting career in the early seventies with the crime film Prime Cut (1972), but her breakthrough role came in 1976 in Brian De Palma’s famous horror film, Carrie, where Spacek portrayed the lead role of Carrie. According to the actress, winning this role was a challenge, but the director never regretted his choice, since Spacek’s performance was critically praised.
