Members OneLife Fan Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 From the Top 10 Fave Actress category..i see many of you have Sissy Spacek as one of ur Top 10. Therefor i decided to start a thread on this wonderful actress. She is a true natural performer. By the way...thank you Rick for that PM u sent me. I am also happy to come across another Spacek fan. I have been a HUGE fan of Sissy's for quite some time. She is labeled as one of the most popular actresses in the 70' and 80's. I cant wait to see her in North Country and i hope she gets an Oscar nod. I think she should have won Best Actress in 2002 for "In the Bedroom" but the win went to Halle Berry. Oh well..at least Sissy won the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a drama. Through the years she has delivered powerful performances again and again. "Carrie" and "Coal Miners Daughter" are two of my faves . I also really love " "Missing", "The River","Crimes Of The Heart", and "In the Bedroom". All of which she has recieved Oscar nominations for Best Actress in all of those movies. Spacek is a quite and intense actress and she portrays great emotion with such ease. She is one of cinema's greatest dramatic actresses and she is a GEM in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R!ck Posted October 11, 2005 Members Share Posted October 11, 2005 Great post OLF. Spacek is definitely one of the best Actress's of the last 50 years. She seems so comfortable in her films. She once said in an interview that when filming a movie, she tries to stay in character 24/7 so it's more believable. Todd Field let her redecorated the kitchen for "In the bedroom" because she felt that was the way the character would have the kitchen decorated. From her dramatic films (Carrie, The River) to her Comedic turns (Blast from the past) she is one of those actress's who make you think you are actually peeking into someones personal life, rather than watching someone act in a movie. At this years Oscars she has Three films eligible for nominations.....North Country, Nine Lives and American Haunting. Let's hope she gets a nod for at least one Here are some of her Accolades.
