[@Ajae78]

I was terrified of Sissy Spacek for years because I first saw her in Carrie when I was 8. Why my Mom let me watch that at 8 is beyond me. I avoided all her movies until I was a teenager and saw her in If These Walls Could Talk. Such an amazing actress who clearly loves her craft and isn’t doing it for fame. I love her voice and natural style too.

I believe she does films not fame but for the art of film making. She's such an incredible actress.

@Andrea «Pourquoi ta mère t‘a-t-elle laissé regarder le film?» Elle ne l‘avait peut être tout simplement pas vu, et qu'elle ne savait pas ce qu'il y avait dedans. Elle a pu penser en lisant le titre «Carrie», que c‘est une sorte de film pour enfants. If you don‘t understand french: «Why did she let me watch that film?». She simply maybe didn‘t saw the film before, and was unaware of its content. Reading «Carrie» title, she thought that was a film for kids.

I had nightwear's for a week. And a few days after we watched it my mom asked one of her girlfriends who was a major movie buff about it. Oh my God she was ready to kill us for tricking her into letting me see it. I thought of Sissy as Carrie for many years. Until I saw Coal Miners Daughter. Now I think of her as Lorretta Lynn FOREVER.
