PROFILE | SISSY SPACEK
- The festive theme to Sissy’s onboard movie is wholly appropriate. Mary Elizabeth Spacek was born on Christmas Day, 1949, in Quitman, Texas. She dropped her given name later in life, when one of her brothers nicknamed her Sissy.
- Spacek was a bright and hard working student. Yet the death of her brother Robbie, from leukaemia, while she was in her senior year at high school, drove her to seize the day, skip university and strike out for New York City.
- Initially Spacek tried to make it as a folk singer among the bars and cafes of Greenwich Village, under the hippyish stage name of Rainbo. In this guise she’s best remembered for her 1968 single You’ve Gone Too Far This Time, John – a response to the nude photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, which graced the cover of their album Two Virgins.
- Later she turned to acting with the help of her cousin, Rip Torn. An alumni of the famous Method workshop, the Actors Studio, Torn enabled Sissy to enrol. These days she’s cited as one of the foremost proponents of The Method.
- While hanging out in Lower Manhattan Sissy got to know the artsy crowd surrounding Andy Warhol, and even appeared, in an uncredited role, in Warhol’s film Trash.
- Over the next few years she established herself as one of the finest actors of her generation. Her role as the waiflike teen girlfriend of a charming serial killer in the 1974 film Badlands won Sissy a Bafta nomination.
- The title role in Carrie (1976) bagged her an Oscar nod. Yet it was the title role in the Loretta Lynn biopic The Coal Miner’s Daughter (1980) that won her a Best Actress Oscar in 1981.
- In 1986, Sissy took a long sabbatical, devoting herself to raising a family on her Virginian farm. These days, she makes occasional forays into the movie business, taking parts as much for their social merit as their attendant fees.
